New Diver and now addicted!

[bdonegan9]

Hi All,
My friend convinced me to take the course and I am now addicted. I got my lobster license and want to dive all the time. However, my friend lives about an hour away and the weather in Massachusetts has not been the best for diving. I keep trying to get him in the water and he told me to put my gear away!!! NO WAY!! I want to dive year round. Is there any reason why I can't dive until I see snow

I know how you feel. I just certified and got a lobster license. I went oping night here in Cali. It was great. Deep water, good vis. 61 degrees. Hey get a winter home in So Cal. you can dive pretty much year round. Water temp drops to around 54 in the winter. 7m suit and 5m hooded vest works for me.

I have never heard of any reason you cant dive year round we do it here but then it doesn't get as cold here as it does up there

you can dive if you see snow just make sure you have a dry suit.
