I've read the other post concerning the clean up at the river, but I have a couple of questions and that post is getting pretty long so I thought they might get lost at the back.
1. I've read that you don't need a buddy that you can just sign up under the group and dive. The problem is I'm not a member of the group. If I come down there is it ok if I dive with the swamp divers? (Just a little background. I got certified about a year ago and am trying to dive much more this summer than I did last season. This sounds like a good opportunity to get some practice. Anybody agree? Disagree?)
2. I'm definitely a newbie (<15 OW dives) and can breathe a tank down with remarkable speed. Will I need more than one tank or can you just jump out when you're finished and call it a day?
3. I think the water down there is pretty chilly. Will a 3mm suit be enough or would anybody recommend something thicker? (Pretty much only been in the caribbean so I don't really have a frame of reference to draw from.)
Thanks for the responses in advance and hopefully these aren't too much of a repeat from what is on the other post.
