Re: drysuit, and BCD for buoyancy?
thx Bob, that was pretty much my thoughts as well, but being new, I wanted to ask in case there was some reason I wasn't considering.

drysuit, and BCD for buoyancy?
I was curious, what is the reason for when diving with a drysuit, to not use the BCD for buoyancy, instead of just the suit?
Seems to me its easier to release air from the bcd, than the suit.

Re: Looking to dive this week...
3pm it is... If anyone wants to do a couple of early am dives (say 8:30am) hit me up. Only requirement I have is that you follow the buddy rules, that being one person leads, the other follows (no running off on your own if you arent the designated leader). Do that, and we wont be diving again.

Re: Looking to dive this week...
no, I've just become a total pussy willow about suiting up/off in the cold. I suppose with a MK3 on, I shouldnt worry, but I still dont like the cold air.

Re: Ordered my new Whites Fusion Today
I've already gotten in and out of one, no big deal. Just a few tricks like lining up the legs/boots, and the final over the shoulder tug to get the last zipper closed. Wally suggested the Bullet skin, as they have the least problems with them. He really wont sell anything else, unless someone specif...

Ordered my new Whites Fusion Today
Wally, that silver tongued snake charmer hooked me in, and now I have a Fusion-Bullet skin on order. Finished my OW over the weekend and can now say good bye to that torture device known as the "wetsuit". I'm stiff and sore everywhere still, and not from the exercise, but struggling to get...

Re: Underwater Proposal?
Or have a special dive flag made that says "Will You Marry Me" on the surface when you come up.
Alternative, you are at Safety Stop, have her go up ahead of you, and float up a surface balloon with that message on it.
Or have someone drop the message down to you.

Re: Tank Storage.
probably a forbidden question, but where are the places locally to NOT get a fill?
