Hello! I'm a new diver in the diving community.
I've completed the book work and pool dives for Open Water, Nitrox, and Dry Suiting. (Lake dives are on hold, water is currently only 40 degrees, buuurrr!) I've started my Advanced Open Water bookwork, and I'm interested in doing Rescue Diver, Cave and Cavern Diver, Deep Diver, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Solo Diver, Underwater Navigation, and Wreck Diver.
I've dove in a 5mm wet suit and a Cordura horizontal zipper dry suit. I'm really interested in the technical gear and diving. I really like the stainless back plate with wing, and I'm looking into either double tank or side mount stages.
I've only had one experience with using a drysuit with the BCD underwater. It was my dry suit pool session, so I know it is much different than a lake or ocean setting, but I'm not sure I like it much. I did have several unforeseen circumstances which lead to problems upon problems and didn't allow for the best of times, however, I am planning to try dry suiting again soon in a lake to get a better opinion.
I look forward to being part of your community which I have relied upon many times for answers as a guest.
If you have any suggestions, I would be more than glad to hear them. I love stories too! Thank you so much.
