I'll answer your basic question again. YES, she'll be fine with pool refresher before going to Coz. Just tell the the DM that she is "una principiante," a beginner.

Louie:Please someone start a new topic on
"Diving couples where one is not as keen as the other"
or
"Making coldwater diving more comfortable"
This one's become a bit too contentious and personal. But that's what gets people reading. How about a thread under the Non diving-related on
"diving problems as indications of deeper relationship problems"?
azsilver:We (my husband and I) do pool refreshers because we both do not want to dive the low vis and cold water in fresh water lakes of Arizona.
There's cold water in Arizona? When I visist my brother and sister in Tucson, I feel like putting ice in the water of their pool! :icecream1
DivingCRNA:I WAS ASKING IF IT IS SAFE FOR HER TO JUST DIVE THE OCEAN WITH POOL REFRESHERS AT HOME!

azcaddman:last time I was there, (June 12, about a month ago) , off vista point, Lake Pleasent
0-25' - 75° vis 5-10'
25-35' - 65° vis 5-10'
35-65' - 58° vis 10-15'
its probably a couple degrees warmer (mostly at the top), and the thermoclines might have moved a little deeper.
vis gets better the deeper you go (generaly)
