Well I bit the bullet .. spent the dough ... drank the kool-aid . . . I am the proud new owner of a dry suit. Couldn't resist the great deal Indian Valley Scuba gave me.
Heaven help us now!
As some of you know, I finally mastered the buoyancy issue (thanks to the Peak Buoyancy class IVS gave me!!), and had the pleasure of being complimented by several dive buddies on my last dive trip. Never thought that would ever happen!!
But now I have to learn it all over again in the dry suit (UGH UGH UGH).
Sooo. . looking for your top 2-3 tips on how you mastered drysuit diving. Like everything else, I want to master this part of my diving as quickly as possible. I've heard horror stories about it taking 50 dives to master -- oh mother of fudge sticks, please tell me that isn't the case.
Fortunately, I have had offers from several excellent dive buddies to give me hands on training and I'll do a drysuit class this spring too. But I want to start researching and thinking about it now. For me, diving is 90% thinking it through.
As always, thanks in advance for answering my newbie stupid question of the day!!!
And HAPPY NEW YEAR!
