If you are interested in drysuit diving, I see you are posting from Colorado. I know A-1 Scuba has offered drysuit training and dives in local waters, so I am fairly certain other shops must offer the same or similar. Let me know if you would like me to look into it for you.It sounds interesting, but I've never tried drysuit...what would be the options for a newbie? I certainly wouldn't want to hold back more experienced divers, but my curiousity is peaked.
Hmm...I guess I am remembering being in either a 6mil or a 7 mil in cold water for my open water in a quarry in Texas in the middle of March. Two things come to mind, how cold my hands (and frankly my whole body) were and the difficulty putting on the hood. What kind of head covering do you use with a dry suit and how thick of gloves do you use? Just trying to decide what I might be getting myself into - I like skiing if I'm properly dressed, and I lived in a cold climate when I was a kid, but I want to be warm and I'm not sure how realistic it is to expect that when diving dry.
Is this creating a new thread or should it be included here?
