daveman692, scsi, and I are now "advanced divers" after this weekend of: -- 6 dives -- all in dry duits -- 1 at night w/ lights -- 3 off the boat (Sunday) -- lots of compass navigation work (lines, squares, triangles, measuring distance, etc) Dry suits are pretty cool. By getting our advanced cards, now we can rent them. $45/weekend is cheaper than $2,000 ... hopefully I find one to consistently rent with a comfortable neck seal, though. When you buy them, you just cut the latex to fit nice, but you can't really do that with a rental. Exhausted... need a nap.
