Just posted in the Intro forum, and some very helpful people redirected me over here. New to the forum, looking for a dive group to carpool down to Monterey or possibly other good dive sites within reasonable driving distance of SF.
I've done almost exclusively tropical diving (I know, I'm spoiled), having worked in OZ on the GBR and checked out Thailand and Honduras. Headed to Belize in May for a bit too.
I have a 7 mm with hood, gloves, booties, etc. Is it just stupid to NOT dive with a drysuit out here? I've only done a couple dives in Monterey while assisting an OW course, so I haven't had an opportunity yet to experience the deep cold water. Thoughts?
