Hooray! The LBD went out. . . Isn't diving dry so awesome!? I'm jealous you get to dive tomorrow too. . . I'm like you - I don't care if it's 0-vis. as long as I get to spend time underwater. . . Have fun!

 

[Gidds]

Tomarrows dives aren't for fun, they are the culmination of my drysuit cert which means I have to not lose my instructor in the gloom long enough to prove to him that I can hang upside down underwater and get out of it and that I can get the bloody inflator hose off the suit in my gloves.

 

[Diesel298]

well have fun and good luck with all that tomorow....
hopefully conditions improve for ya a bit

 

[Gidds]

I don't really mind the lack of vis. Nothing in those coves that's gonna bite me or anything.

Just remember to push the hose in towards your valve as you pull back and it shouldn't be hard. . . The upside down thing is just weird - period. . . I ended up going up about 15ft . . . but in all my dives, I've never wound up in that position - nor have other drysuit divers unless doing something silly. . . It's not like you're swimming along and all of a sudden ur feet are above your head.

Good luck

I rather like hanging upside down. I don't know why everybody fusses about how hard it is to get out of it. One of the divers I was with today admits to going feet up before.

 

[Diesel298]

its actualy not good to be feet up. underwater or not..
your heart rate drasticly slows, and some people have been known to pass out

My heart rate is over 100 while I'm at rest. I'm not gonna worry about it. It's not like I spend a ton of time upside down
