    That was the water temp in Lower Dumbell Lake, the water in the ocean was closer to -2.5 C (27 F)

    You can keep your soul, but you'll need to part with about $25K. Here's a link to a company that puts such trips together. I got to go for free in return for running small boat and diving operations for a similar (now defunct) firm, they do come and go ... watch your deposits.

    I think you forgot the link... although I guess a bit of googling would let me find them.

    [Edit] Not that I can spare that kind of money for a dive trip....

    25k for a dive trip sounds too much for me! I can barely part with 300 bucks for one =(

    Very cool, I love the seal that came to visit in the hole.

    Thanks for sharing
    Buddy diving is only as good & safe as your buddy is. But before you point the finger at your buddy, take a look at yourself first and ask the question, "am I a good buddy"?

    Great thread. Beautiful pictures.

    What regs did you use? How much extra weight for all that extra undergarments?

    Thanks for the fun pictures.

    We were using light weight surface supply, and AGA Divator Mk II.

    As for the extra weight, those of us who were in the White's Mk III, i think they were wearing at least 40 lbs. As for those of us wearing the Weazles, about 28-32 lbs, plus ankle wieghts.
