Diving cold water wet....

As I was suiting up in my heavy gear on Thursday at Haigh Quarry in preparation for the 43 degree water I couldn't help thinking about how nice it was last Aug in Fla where I dove in a 3mm shorty. The prospect of the stiff 7mm suit, heavy gloves & hood cut into the anticipation just a little bit.

Then I got in the water for the first time in 8 months and all of the hassles where gone.

I realized diving cold water wet is like having sex with a condom. It might not be quite as enjoyable, but your diving, so quit your bitching and enjoy it
