You know you're a warm water wussie when..

[Jamdiver]

So after a pretty nice, relaxing warm dive in Port Antonio.
Some of my dive buddies decide to take a dip in the Blue Lagoon (featured in the movie of the same name).

Suffice to say it was nowhere near as warm, 73F according to the reg. Which is just brutal in my opinion . Lol!
So for all those who are self-avowed, proud, warm-water wussies.
Stand up and be counted!
I decided to create a list. Feel free to add your comments.

You know you're a warm-water wussie when

• Water temps below the upper 70's have you thinking of cancelling the dive
• You wonder if wearing a drysuit while everyone else is in skins or a shorty looks bad
• You wear 5 and 7mm westsuits when everyone else is in a 3mm shorty
• The thought of dusting snow off your kit prior to a dive has you shaking in your booties! :11:

OTOH, you're definitely a confirmed cold water diver when you consider a chain saw a vital part of your dive gear.

Sadly I have accessed water with a chain saw

When after trips to the Sea of Cortez, Hawaii and French Polynesia the thought of diving in 60* water in Monterey, CA makes you decide that a round of golf is a better idea.

. . . if you must ask what the water temp will be before you can accept a diving invite from a friend.

The warmest water I have ever, ever dove? 73 degrees.

Talk about different perspectives, huh?

If I have to wear more than 1mm, it's not an option. (Maybe I'm more of a wetsuit wuss than a warm water wuss.)

There's a reason why they call us CRAZY CANUCKS.
