I went up to the lake this morning and met Tony at the shop . I picked up my Dry Suit (had it pressure tested and a new neck seal put on)been fighting a leak the last 4 or 5 dives I even had a wrist seal replace . . We got to the ramp got all geared up and in to the water at 8:52 . Dropped under the water did a check for any feeling of water interring suit.And:banana:
NO LEAK
Went on with the dive came back to the ramp( We talked be for the dive to at the end of the dive have me hold on to the ramp edge 10' level and we filled my suit up with air to see if there was any air exiting . I couldn't hold on long and Tony couldn't hold me down . And yes you guest it I popped up like a cork out of a bottle . good practice on how to get out of a over inflated suit on the surface. GOOD NEWS the suit has no more leaks I was totally dry when I took off the suit . Thanks for letting me ramble . A good 54 min. dive down to 90' and temp at 90' was 56*

Great!
I will be there for the Poker Dive on Saturday in my 3mm. I hope I will be warm enough. I may bring my drysuit in case.
I dove with a 3mm farmer john three weekends ago with krawlings....got a little cold when the temps went down to high 50's but bearable!
