First open water dive of 2010 (in MN)

[arcFlash]

Drysuits are not sudden death so everyone needs to relax about getting bent. The Madeira is a fine site to work it out if you spend your time at the bow ~25 feet. Lots of stuff to see. If you go around the corner there are acres of debris in less than 15 feet of water. Vis is usually good. You're going to have to go see the shallow stuff anyway, might as well do both. Get someone else new to suit and go work it out.

Just hold out to see the stern for another day, it's not going anyplace.

My only drysuit advice is, get the weight right. Don't go overboard and it's a lot easier.  You can wade out and check yourself at the site.

G: go use the suit.
