Drysuit Rental

Hello NW DiveClub HiveMind! My suit is due for some unexpected warranty work, which means 6 to 8 weeks gone. :axe: I have a major cold water trip coming up in 15 days, so I am looking to possibly rent a suit.

Re: Three tree and tides

Tides are not super critical at TTN in terms of timing slack, however on large exchange days the current can move pretty good. I've done dives where the current was super annoying and was a factor affecting the dive but not enough to end it, but ymmv. If I was super uncomfortable in some current I'd...
