where can I get a drysuit cheap and quick?
Cheap and quick huh?

Hmm, I don’t even like my DRYSUITS that way. :wink:

But seriously folks. :D There are plenty of shops here. Depending on your size and material preference, I am sure that one of them could outfit you with what they have in stock. If you’re serious PM me, so I won’t get accused of promoting anyone’s shop on the board, and I can recommend a few well located LDS’s.

If you’re not serious, you should be! :cheers:
 
Oh DeepDog, I'm serious. I just don't have the money.
 
You're brilliant, DeepDog! I don't have to be ashamed anymore! I've got an official Diagnosis number....and willing partners for ongoing therapy.
This is great...thanks for the best laugh of my day.
Love your avatar, too. It's tough to choose between a regulator and a good stiff drink!

West Seattle Scuba Dependency or WSSD is a workshop to help those, like me, who suffer from the following medical condition:

SCUBA DEPENDENCY with manifestations of withdrawal flashbacks
ICD-10 code F22x4.13

So far, the most productive therapy has been my own new group therapy. It involves “Re-experience”. This is where we recreate the flashbacks by actually doing local dives and then re-surfacing to discuss our experience. The flashbacks are beginning to improve (but thankfully they aren’t going away).

Here are just a few of my signs and symptoms of scuba addiction. I’ve read other symptoms here on SB but those were not on this list:
I am continually checking my air and depth.
WAIT, why is my console hanging over my shoulder?

Hello, my name is Dan and I'm a scuba-holic.

I only clear my ears when I'm in the car ... does that mean I'm curable? I dont think there's a cure (and if there is, keep it to yourselves! :wink: )

(I got a new BC yesterday, and since I cant baptize it in the water till Saturday, I put it in my room, then went to bed and stared at it smiling for a while. :07: )
 
I'm proud to say that I finally took the second step on the road to not recovering (first step being certification). Put some money down on the rent-to-own program at Whidbey Dive last weekend, so I'll be the proud owner of my own treatment facilities in less than a year. Will look to do some NW orientation dives after my wedding/honeymoon/dive trip in January, then some more local diving with my buddies, and then I'll be ready for some group therapy with whoever is up for it.

New equipment - The waiting is the hardest part! Congrats on the new BC. :D

Egypt is definitely on my list of places I'd like to baptize MY bc. The visibility here last night was about one meter.
