Welcome to ScubaBoard, rynno, and thanks for the kind words!

You'll love the warmth of a drysuit! You'll dive a lot more if you're warm.

I assume you're looking locally, but don't forget to try the Bargain News in your home turf of Connecticut.

The WantAdvertiser in MA is also good, plus you can view it's listings online for free.

The WANT ADvertiser Online

EBay has some bargains, too, but you'll need to know what you're doing to buy sight-unseen.

Talk to local divers for tips and possibly leads on drysuits.

Search this board for tips, too.

Good luck in your search!

Now, those temps sound great! Enjoy! Post a report, I'd love to read about warmer water!

I've been out of the water for four months now and I really didn't miss it much until I read this post. Now I want to get back in the water tomorrow.

I really need to get a drysuit.

Nice report and pictures. I'm really jealous, I lived up there my whole life and love shore diving around MA, but I moved to Houston for a new job a year ago. I just got a dry suit and needless to say the mud pit I tried it out in down here can't compare to your dry suit dive. Can't wait to get some diving in when I'm back home this summer.
