Most of the year I’m good in boardshorts and a rash guard.

I guess we'll find out later this year/early next what temps I'm comfortable with.

I just wrapped up my Enriched Air Diver Knowledge reviews in the manual and doing the exercises in the accompanying RDP Study Guide. Have to go in to the shop and do the analyzing and get checked out on that and then I'll start reading the AOW manual.

You dive BP/W right? Where do you put your spool and SMB? I think I'm going to clip mine to the rear crotch strap D ring. That's where I had it for OW 3 & 4 and seemed to be good to go but open to suggestions. Pics may help =)

Congrats @CDMac - Thanks for sharing with us. I got some goose bumps while reading about that Blue Angels flyover!

Once a Marine always a Marine. Welcome and Semper Fi!

Thanks, @Trailboss123 I enjoyed the heck out of your trip report and saw some things I never even knew existed in your photos. I've got the bug!

Thanks, @NelleG - Indeed Semper Fi, sister!!

I’m building my BP/W set up now. So currently use rental bcd.

Ideally I’d run a small pocket I can fit the smb and spool inside. Until then just rock it on the hip d ring

Congratulations mate!

I joined the ranks of OW 3 weeks ago, and I'm doing my Advanced this weekend.

Unfortunately - I get the 5-7meters vis in the cold water of a flooded quarry!

Thanks, @Mike Link. Ahhh, I am so glad I moved to Florida

5-7m Viz in a flooded quarry..... luxury!
Stoney, Vobster or NDAC?
