Thanks to all for great comments on the pictures. As far exposure protection I did not try any less then 7mm.But my dive usually lasts about 70 to 80 or more minutes. If you planning short dive I guess is possible but I will not recommend. However it will depend on how quick you get cold. I’m usually taking pictures so I’m not moving much.

Di site is great for tide information’s and schedule info.

I will try to get there tomorrow for nice dive. I hope to see you guys there.

Regards

Marcin

P.S Di’s van is not white is dark red almost burgundy color.

So is it getting to 3mm to 5mm suit temperature yet?

Yep...about 75 now...sometimes a little colder...I wore a 5mm and was cold after about 50 minutes. I also used a 6mm hood and gloves though and that helped. BUT, I get cold easily.

I will have to see how the weather is next weekend. Anyone planning to dive there next sat or sun?

to be more specific...75 aeris degrees two weeks ago at hi slack and 71 a week ago at hi slack tide...seems to fluctuate...and yes marc is correct...Di's van isn't white...maybe maroon or the like...
