Yay! Rod and I will be there when it opens too. We'll be driving a silver Malibu. Are you doing the Treasure Hunt too? If so.... be sure to sign up with Divers Supply. It's $21.50 total for the day... and that includes the food. (I believe only $10 is paid to Divers Supply. The other amount $$ you pay to France Park). Are you up for a game of ScubUNO? LOL
erparamedic:
Yeah, I'm going to the Treasure Hunt as well. I'm stopping by the shop to register today. I'm certainly up for giving ScubUNO a try. Can't pass up playing a came with the World Founder. When you're rich and famous someday, I can say I dove/played with you when you were one of the "little people"!
EDIT: I'll be there around 9 am and I'll be in a red Dodge Dakota 4x4.

LOL!! You're too funny!
Well.... are you wearing a 7 mil on Sunday?? I really don't want to rent a 7 mil.... but I'm not sure that my 3mil will cut it.

Good! See you there! Feel free to dive with us prior to the hunt. We're gonna get in some ScubUNO on the platform.

I have a Pinnacle 3mm that I bought from Bob @ Diver's Supply Indy. It's a very warm 3mm. It has a Merino wool inner lining along with wrist, ankle and neck seals to prevent too much water exchange. It is supposed to be as warm as a 5mm. I also have a hooded vest I wear under it sometimes. If the temps will be in the mid-60s or higher I'll just wear the 3mm with a regular bibbed hood. I don't get cold very easily.

I suppose I could wear my 1 mil under the 3 mil, and wear a beanie.... I don't have a real hood. I'm thinking I might pay a visit to Mike (at DSI west) and try on a 7 mil.... problem is... I'm sooo dis-proportionate, that it's like wrestling a walrus to get me into a 7 mil!! And... to find one that fits me right, it'll be waaaaaay too long in the arms and legs. Oh well.... I guess that's the price I'll have to pay to stay warm. (I don't want to get down there and turn into a "body shaped" block of ice!!)

Queen of cold speaking up here. I wear a 1/4" (6.5mm) suit while diving in Florida and I freeze. I was wearing a 3mm full suit with a 3mm shorty over it at France Park in July, the water was 74 at the bottom and I was fine. I don't think I was even wearing a hood or gloves. If you don't get cold easily your 3mm and beanie will be fine

Yeah.... my 3 mil is a Henderson Hyperstretch... and it's a 1X and fits great!! I love it, and it's incredibly easy to get on! Now... (yes, I'm a big girl... but don't let it scare you!! LOL) I tried on a 2X 7mil rental at DSI and proportionately... it was NOT do-able! LOL Actually, they were laughing, cause they could hear me laughing while I was trying to get it on. So... I'm gonna TRY a 3X... but I think it's gonna be baggy in some places, while too long in the arms/legs, and tight in the butt! LOL We'll see.... I may just be in my 1 mil with the 3 mil over it and wear my beanie and gloves. LOL Who knows.... maybe I'll just show up in a clown suit! LOL
