Looking to dive

[JohnL]

I speak only for myself, but it wasn't too bad. At one point I was getting a bit cold so I poured some hot water in my suit and put on an insulated jacket. We spent about an hour swapping tanks, eating, and drinking. Filled my gloves with hot water before putting them back on so that wasn't too bad. They almost felt warmer on the second dive. Started to feel a bit cool when we got to 40 feet, but not bad.

Actually after this last dive I think that dry suits are for whimps. I'll probably never get a dry suit. I actually think that the coldest of the winter is probably here this year. So I'll probably be diving all winter long as long as we don't have any major storms.

Hey....I resemble that remark. I could be pretty happy with a drysuit.

I only meant that to be tongue in cheek, plus how many people do you know that sometimes have a hard time even making it to the water. This year I'm going to even master going down cathedral rocks.

i dove old garden beach today, wasnt much to see, we had a max defpth of 15ft..
dive time was about 40 minutes, with water temp at 39*


it was alright i guess, i saw soem lobster, frilled aenomes, sea urchins, and ALOT of white sponge, i forget the name.. but it is a very invasive species growing in new england water.. that stuff is taking over all the rock reefs in new england. its everywhere.

As you enter the water and if you go towards the right along where the rocks are, you probably could reach a depth of 50- 60 feet. Even better depending on the waves if you were to swim out towards the right and go around the bend I've heard that you can go as deep as 70 feet.

I was just kidding around too.

It's not easy climbing a beach wearing winter wetsuit weights. At least the rocks were smooth, dry and stable. Not!

Hmm....I haven't been to Cathedral yet...

i went there today, those rocks are the pretty small..i mean it was nothing really challenging :O
at least it wasnt like folly cove..

well, i much would have rather done that than been diving in 10ft of water..
i think i wana go w/o a tank, new england diving is really cumbersome when your use to the carribean.. i feel much more relaxed freediving
