I'M NOT COLD!!!...

Post by lurch »

...he shouted to his dive buddy this morning. (At Muk park after an hour-plus dive to the wall.)

:supz: :supz: :supz: :supz: :supz: :supz: :supz: :supz: :supz: :supz: :supz: :supz: :supz: :supz:

For those of you calling "b******t"; my butt, arms and fingers did get a bit chilled. But I wasn't dangerously hypothermic like my dive on Thanksgiving.

Maybe this should go in the "Firsts" thread?

I was warm through last winter and this summer. I also lost about 30lbs (of fat, not lead) over the summer so now I'm feeling the colder temps :pale: Got creative with my undies, doubled up my socks and gloves and laivindil is a happy camper \:D/

(This is also a placeholder for nwbrewer's report with pictures. [hint hint] )

Apparently, back before he got a drysuit, he used to stand in his cooler full of hot water to stay warm. :laughing3:

I don't think we could pay him enough to dive a wetsuit in the winter again.

He has too much fun modifying his drysuit.

Yeah yeah yeah, make fun of me all you like, no more freezing my @$$ off diving in hail storms in February. That day was flippin' cold, but hands down one of the best days of diving I've ever done in Puget Sound. Pez we may have to repeat that sometime this year, you feel like playing hooky in February?

Here's the pics from today -

He's throwing you all for a loop. It's really Jake; he made the splitfins out of some cardboard, duct tape, fan belts and zip-ties after a few too many of his home-brew. :evil4:

He should change his username to "Scubagyver". :salute:
