Mike will you be diving?????

I may try to go and try out one of their suits. But I don't think one is in the budget at this time with my other upcoming trips.

I doubt I'll be able to brave the cold waters in my wetsuit afterwards though!



DUI has this picture of Jim up on thier site from last years Dog Days.

I did not know I was diving with a celeberty. :)

If you try one of their suits do they provide the extra low pressure hose for the suit or do I need to come already prepared?

oooooo...... man that's a good question.

I didn't think about that.



I'm sure they'll have hoses or have rental/demo regs to go with those.....


I'll ask Jim. He went last year.

BTW>.. Aquanut. I did'nt mean to duplicate your post . I didn't see your other post on this until later... sorry.

Just out of curiosity... with the tickets online, what does that get you? Surely thats not admission to the site too is it? If so I will be down there in a heartbeat

[aquaknott]

Noproblem Mike. It is nice to see soemone else is thinking about it. Maybe I will see you there.

[aquaknott]

Hey Matt what site are you talking about when you said you could buy tickets online? I am not familiar with that, unless it si the DUI site.

[utdivermatt]

Its the DUI site, they sell pre-event tickets or something like that. I think it was $8 a day. Just wondering what it includes. I will find the link sometime

[aquaknott]

Ok I read the info on the link given above. I had not seen that page it still did not say anything about providing the LP hose. If anyone knows can you post the answer here or in my thread related to this thanks.

[Boomer7]

I could be wrong but when I attended the dog days at Dutch Springs in Pa they were attaching the LP hose. So they supplied them. Also I saw some of the divers trying the dry suits with the LP hose. That was 4 years ago, things could have changed.

Matt, I think it includes use of their demo gear, hot dogs and grill out stuff they provide.

You still have to pay the quarry admission fee, but DUI provides a $5 dollar or something coupon off the price of admission with your $8 paid DUI Dog Day fee. $8 bucks for burger, hotdog, coke, etc and using a drysuit is prety fair, especially since you get $5 back on admission fee. So in reality it's only about $3 extra.

Duh....Matt the link is right above you in the very first post on this thread :shakehead AND it gives ALL the information about what the admission fee is for, discounts, etc.....what college did you say you go to again? and how did you get IN college? a rich relative perhaps.....:D

[denisegg]

I would love to do this!! It would be a unique opportunity to try a drysuit and get a feel for how they work without having to buy one to find out. The only problem is I am already going to be out of town the weekend before for our weekend dive n dine and I don't know if I can afford another weekend trip the very next weekend, $ wise or time wise. Even though I wouldn't buy one this late in the year (the water will be alot warmer soon), I might could work it into the budget before the next cold diving season starts so then I will be ready to go!!

[frostologist]

DUI provides just about everything you will need, hoses, drysuits, undergarments, hoods, boots, fins, you can even dive one of their bc's. If you aren't drysuit certified you will dive with an instructor.

It is a worthwhile event if you are curious about diving dry, which I did in the gulf yesterday.

In freshwater the water temperature below 100' doesn't change much throughout the year. Last weekend at Bluewater the temp was 54 @ 115'. Diving dry is the way to go.
