Air temp around 42...Water temp 46. This will only be my 3rd cool water dive, but I need to try out some new equipment before Cozumel.
Gearing up goes ok...a bit clunky because I'm just not used to all that gear, but we're good, so buddy and I enter the water(shore dive).
Can't get my mask to seal...try a few times but aligning the hood and mask with 5mm gloves is just getting me frustrated. Several trys and I'm ready to give up.
I tell my buddy to hook up with others but he says that if I abort, he's out too, so after a couple more tries I get a seal and we're good to go.
Visibility is terrible 5-10 feet tops but I'm warm and doing ok. After about 15 minutes buddy signals a problem with his dry suit and we assend.
I lose a brand new ScubaPro Twin-Jet fin...we're only in about 20 feet of water so I drop back to find it and he helps with the search, but nothing.
A couple others searched later, but to no avail......$170 out the window
At least I can say I got a New Year's Dive in I guess..............
