Hi all,
Long time reader/lurker, first time poster, very appreciative of all the advice I've gleaned here over the past 2-3 years.
While my wife and I are set up for local diving with our own drysuits and steel 100s, we still aren't in love with PNW diving and typically spend two weeks a year on tropical dive vacations. The cold water doesn't bother me, but I find the combination of tides/currents and poor visibility to be disorienting and unpleasant. We haven't given up, but we are very picky about conditions.
I hope to take the GUE fundamentals class someday, I'm personally not interested in technical diving but I do think that the tech world has a lot to offer recreational divers in terms of trim, buoyancy control, streamlining, etc.
Thanks for reading, now back to lurking until I feel I have something helpful to offer (doubtful...)
