New to the board. Wouldn't normally start a thread for something like this, but,
that seems to be the norm in the intro/greet forum here, so, that's what I did.
My fire ext. is ready, so, flame away if I shouldn't have...

Anyway, I'm a DM currently in the AI program and work with Blue Water Aquatics
in Sunnyvale. I'm also an EFR Instructor.
I've got somewhere around 100 dives and am very active diving locally sometimes
every weekend in a month. I love diving Monterey, and, love sharing that
experience with others.

If you think Cold water is not worth the hassel, then, you haven't been on the right
cold water dive. Monterey is some of the best diving in the world. Warm water is
nice and the tropics have pretty colors, but, you just can't beat a cold water kelp
forest.

I look forward to getting to know more of the community over the comming months
and years.

Haven't been in water warmer than 63 degrees except for the surface. Lake Michigan and Superior are always cool. Still dive wet, although am thinking of going dry this winter :D
 
Hi owen,
Haven't been in cold water yet. I sometimes travel to Sunnyvale on business and would like to dive Point Lobos. Maybe next time I'm out there we can hook up for dive.
 
60 degrees isn't very cold. 50 maybe, but I love it....

And don't be shy about posting. Click Forums above, tour the long list of choices, and jump in anywhere you're qualified. PM me with any questions, and I'll try to find a pretty good answer.

Welcome overboard.

How about <40 F? (Gotta love husqvarna) Recently moved from Cold Lake AB, where it certainly lives up to it's name.

I can get you into some 68ºF freshwater springs if you want, just a short drive to the panhandle springs. Come winter(Jan/Feb) you might get to try some gulf water temps in the high 50sºF.




I don't really start calling water cold until is below 60ºF and I'm diving wet in a 3mm LOL.
