Question:
I was certified in Bali 5 years ago. I'd dived in 5 m visibility in Jakarta bay and Sunda strait - JAVA for about a couple of years. And I've been staying in Borneo about half an hour flight from equator, have been diving in 78-80 F water 10-15 m visibility under oil rigs here for the past two and a half years. I wear 2-3 kgs weight, 1.5 mm full suit and a thin hood to protect my black hair from the sun.
Now, I will move to Iowa, Des Moines. Will I be able to dive? What kind of diving available there? Do I have to buy dry suit, do I have to get other special gear or something to be able to dive there? Any budget package?
I'm actually thinking of selling my gear here, but I need second opinion before doing something drastic like giving up diving completely.
Thanks' for any advice.
