Keep the dry suit. You'll be able to dive year round. One of these days I'll get one and do the same.

Guess I shouldn't sell my drysuit then, huh?
I'll sell you mine... Are you 6'4?
Guys, count me in. I moved from DC recently and desperately need to wet my gills!!!You'll be perfectly at home here with the low Viz. Like the previous poster mentioned, this is Texas and it gets HOT in the summer. You won't need much of a wetsuit in the summer (I wear a shorty that I can get off and on quickly) when water temps can be in the upper 80's until you hit the thermocline with over 100 on land.
I've never been to Valhalla but I've heard it's cool. From what I've heard you have to transport your gear quite a distance down stairs to the water but once you're there it's neat. Of course then you've got to carry stuff back up.
There are several dive shops in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area (I'm actually south of Ft. Worth). Of course ScubaToys in the NW Dallas area (a veritable candy store) for divers.
Send me a PM when you get here and maybe we can get together for a dive trip to Clear Springs.

Wow... you're a big'un....
I'd hang onto it for a while longer... I know there are a few die hards that dive in the winter around here but I'm not one of them.
Jim
Ahh Haa! A new goal for this winter. Get Jim to go diving during the next ice storm!

Ice storm? But it's Texas...
