A legitimate adventure has no predetermined outcome. - Chatterton
A flawlessly working rebreather is almost as dangerous as a completely unreliable unit since reliability encourages complacency. - Howard Hall stating the Richard Pyle Paradox
Decompression algorithms are akin to measuring with a micrometer, marking with chalk and cutting with an ax. - Rick Murchison

Some guys get all the breaks. Send me so no one thinks you're one of them. LOL (just kidding of course).
Only... that warm water may not be safe without specialized training and experience to help you cope. So...in the interest of shielding you from such peril, I humbly offer to subject myself to that danger in your stead. think of the board! what would they do without you? Much better to send some one more dispensable...like me.
Oh well, i can see this isn't going to work. Have fun.
Well uncle Pug... I'm still kind of a newby, but I'll do my best.....
Probably try to get in a few hours of practice time before you leave...
Find a friend with a large water bed (be sure the heat is turned up)
Get a couple of those groovy party lights that send colors and lights all over the room
Large screen TV (preferably flat screen) with an aquarium screen saver....
Lay on the bed naked... try your best to relax... enjoy the warmth... the pretty fish and remember not to pee.....

Not merely an absence of noise, Real Silence begins when a reasonable being withdraws from the noise in order to find peace and order in his inner sanctuary.

Sheesh.... I need real advice here folks.... how am I going to cope with warm water when all my experience is with cold water low viz!
Assuming the water is 80ish? I'd wear a 3 mil, stailess backplate and my diverite fins (cuz they fit my feet and they're pretty good).
I'd still bring a dry suit though because I get tired of being wet, get cold in the shower and with very light clothes on underneath I find it comfortable even in warm water.
