Hello everyone;
Just a short intro of myself. I live in Manitoba, Canada. That's smack in the middle of the country. Started diving in the summer of 2001, and have logged 21 dives to date. The winter kinda puts a halt to "most" diving activities. However in the dead of winter, with the air temp sitting at -30c. We cut a hole in the 5 ft. of ice covering the lakes in January, and dive in the +4c water. Sure is an unusual experience, walking to the warm up shack, with your wet boots sticking to the ice after your dive. Not to mention the fact the the water, although cold, is far warmer than the air. Sounds nuts, but it sure is an exhilerating feeling under thick ice, watching your bubbles race along the bottom. Oh well, summer is here now, and the warm(er) water with it.
Looking forward to talking to the rest of you, and who knows, maybe one day I'll actually dive in a part of the world with "really" warm water with some of you.
