Hello everyone. I'm a relatively new diver, I have about 3 years of diving experience. I started out diving in sites around Puerto Vallarta and got hooked. My wife and I both OW certified in the Puget Sound during the winter, which meant we also had to dry suit certify. I quickly fell in love with cold water diving and started looking into other dive sites around the PNW. If cold water interests you, I absolutely recommend coming up to Oregon, Washington, or Idaho. I recently went diving in Clear Lake, Oregon, which is a caldera that formed an underwater petrified forest. Water temp is 36°F/3°C - 41°F/6°C all year, creating crystal clear visibility and some amazing topography. I did my Advanced cert in Lake Coeur D'Alene, where there are plenty of shallow and deep wrecks. Water temp in Lake CDA was around 60°F/16°C as of Saturday 10 Oct 2020. My next travel dive will be swimming with octopus in Hoodsport, WA later this fall.
My current cold water set-up is:
