How do you maintain buoyancy in snow?

Congrats on taking the steps to get certified. Once you get your certification, you should check into drysuit diving. Don't limit yourself to being just a warm water diver!

Welcome Corey. There are quite a few Canadians here (see the Canadian Divers Social Group). Good luck with your trip south and be sure to get checked-out by your instructor when you get back for cold-water. It has it's own attraction.

Welcome to SB. Like many other Canadian divers I assumed you had to head to warmer climes to enjoy the wonder that is scuba.....wrong!! In Eastern Ontario we're spoiled with an abundance of great fresh water diving & I'm even toying with the idea of taking an ice diving course this year.

3mil shorty for down south, drysuit for local & you can practically dive year 'round.

Have fun!!

Thanks Everyone, there's obviously no shortage of advice on this forum. Ha!

I keep telling myself that I'll just stick to wetsuit diving; however I have a feeling that will eventually change and I'll be down at my LDS trying to justify a dry suit purchase.

Cheers!

There is no such thing as wetsuit DIVING in Canada

There's a lot more to see when you're not limited by things such as water temperature.....
