It looks like I may be able to make it, but we shall see. Hopefully, I will have that weekend off for a fun time!

crpntr133:Don't change it now!! My calendar is marked for the 23-24. Looks like I am going to be a free man that weekend. Looking forward to putting some faces with names.
Ok, question. Dry suit or semi dry? I've got both. Since I have never been to Gilboa I don't know. I am thinking dry.
Also planning on bringing the UW video cam so smile and say cheese whiz.
It's a bad idea to ask this board "should I dive dry". Just ask what the temps are and make up your own mind. "Some" people here belong to the church of "I ain't divin' dry!" and some of us like myself only dive dry until they get to the warm water, which to me is around 70 (maybe) to 85 degrees. Shallow quarry water doesn't count, because there is always a thermalcline. The quarry by me is in the mid-50's at about 45', so I dive dry.

And beat me and my DRYSUIT by 400psi on the air consumption :11: (of course I was diving my wet gloves and my head was wet as well)

lost, even with a compass
45 degrees and my butt is going dry...55 is pushing it.
Hey Chris, it is ever fish for himself. I think you have more time to see what is going on here than I do. I am down to 9 hours a day at work. I'm planning on bringing my boys. It will be nice to spend some time with them.

You may not have let your computer's temperature settle down before ascending!
I had about 38F over by the pit and at the trailer..... brrrr...

I opted for wet gloves vs the dry and was definitely second guessing it at depth!
OP
Yeah... I am now only diving dry gloves on the deep side. Just way to chilly for my fingers to work at that depth. I think a FFM is next

Meanwhile, I think I'll be staying on the shallower side of the quarry. I'm a sissy when it comes to cold water.

You are probably right. I do know for a fact my computer takes some time to acclimatize to a new temperature, but that is all I have to go on, I can't read the temp on my gauges accurately enough. So, consider that 45 asd the highest it could have been!
Mike needs to anchor a thermometer down there by the trailer like he has at the tubes!
