I went on the IBIS today with the rest of my scuba club..
we dove the mercedes ( 90+ ) , the wreck itself was great, and the visibility was outstanding! one of the best dives I've had out of a boat!
( waves never did reach more than 2feet!, no swells, BUT a strong current)
But DAM it was cold!
I wore a 0.5mm wet suit + 3mm full wet suit with 3mm hood , water temps got down to about 66 degrees at the bottom , the worst was coming out of the boat! it was freeeeezing... all I remember was shivering non stop and wanting to get back in the water to get the wetsuit to work again
2nd dive was a shallow dive at about 35 feet, came out at 40 mins due to a buddy using a lot of air , but for the first time ever , I was glad to get out of the water!
for all of you that hunt , I saw about 20-25 lobsters on the 2nd reef , all legal size , so It might be a good idea to go out during the week if weather permits
anyhow ,
I might follow Debby's steps and hang up my fins and take up another sport for the next few months , unless i can afford a dry suit or a 5/4/3 + vested hood lol
