That's not bad at all.... I wore a 3/2 full with a 2mm vest, 7mm booties, 2mm gloves and I was groovy (and Im always the one complaining that I'm cold) I know we will have plenty of hot fluid to drink as well.....

Whooooo... glad that I read this again before I replied, might have had egg or sumthin on my face :<) Sometimes when I don't have the glasses on... well, "a"s sorta look like something else.....

Well, I will make the trip, the boss had actually remembered that I had plans....


Now... twiddling thumbs... do I dive wet or dry? Do I dive with my BC or the BP and wing.... Too many decisions!

Simon, Jean and I both have many (hundreds?) of dives in drysuits, so if you have questions, ask!


Yup, its gonna be a drysuit day, I believe!

I would like to go dry, but of course i have only dove my doubles with my drysuit and that was in the caves - with no waves/swell. I still cant quite get the idea of lugging the doubles up steps into the boat. I havent dove my singles with the DS yet, so dont know the weighting, would rather do that somewhere a little shallower and more confined - so will probably go 5mm and hope that i can keep warm for 4 dives, brrrr.
 
Sorry guys...I'm gonna cancel for Saturday's dive. I didn't think I was gonna have a spot so I made other tentative plans and instead of guessing and cancelling at the last minute I would give someone else the spot.

Next time I will jump on the bandwagon sooner.

I will certainly dive my double 50's...Those I can lift onto the boat...(well , at least I can carry then on...)
Now , wet -or- dry ???
Hmmmm...... :wink:
(decisions , decisions...)

Marvel:
That's too bad, Marcus- maybe next time.
thanks...next time i'll jump on the bandwagon early and plan better....

did you find a computer?
 
I did! Simon is kindly loaning me one- just have to get Jenny to read her owner's manual so she can tell me how to use it...... :11:
