are you wearing a wet suit ?

 

He'd have to be for diving in this area (or a dry suit). That water is cooooold!!!

EDIT: you can see the suit in the 1st pic.

 

I asked you in the "any pilots" thread, why you stopped flying......especially now that I see you want to scuba dive again...???

 

yeah i was wearing a wet suit but would kill for a dry suit...the water was about 45 degrees

 

I got PADI certified down in San Diego several years ago. Been diving off the coast of San Diego mostly. Been on a couple of night dives and a couple of boat dives but mostly shore dives out of La Jolla.

 

Ah, sorry... I haven't looked in on that thread in a while... I'll go back in there and answer your question!

 

I got my certification in Puget Sound a few years ago, am stationed in Guam, and am going to Fiji in a week...and will be going back to the Puget Sound in 6 months.

My favorite dive was in Hawaii, we hit the water and there was a school of manta rays doing laps around us the entire dive

 

Padi, mostly dive in the Red Sea other then lake Geneva

 

holy shite, wet suit in 45 F = major shrinkage!

 

My mistake was getting certified on some of the best diving in the world: The Philippines. My next assignment was Biloxi, MS and we would go to Florida panhandle. It sucked compared to P.I. And it was outrageously expensive (I could hire a private boat for my buddy and me for $5 for a half day in the P.I.; it was $85 for two dives in 80 feet of water in FL). My next assignment was Guam: I was psyched! Then, eight days on the island and I twisted my leg so bad that I split the top of my femur. Surgery, wired knee and a cast for two months. Then another six months recuperating while using crutches. I did get to dive Guam a little, before leaving after a year tour. Finally, Oklahoma. Diving in Oklahoma? Yeah, right. But, last year I did take my Scouting Venture Crew out and get them all certified. They loved it, even though the visibility was about 5-6 feet in one of the local lakes. Nothing like the routine 100-200 foot visibility in the tropical waters of the P.I.
