Looks like I will be in the area around the 12th of August and be there several days. I have not updated my logged dives, I am up from those numbers, however not much, and I do only have OW cert as of now, still waiting on the AOW class to start. As far as cold water, I spent all winter...

Sounds great. My g/f is from St Clair and we will be up from WV in August, so I figure, might as well take advantage and do some great lake diving. Thanks for the help.

No, the lake was created as a cooling pool for a coal powered electric plant, which by the way is directly across from the SCUBA area. It is pretty neat. Anyways, the water from the lake is circulated thru the lake to cool the turbines and when the water is pumped back into the lake the temp is...

Will be in the area in August and was wondering where some good diving spots were in the area. How about Lake Huron?

Was there today. Water temp was 95 but vis was not great, 10' maybe.

I have been going up on Saturdays, but I have a wedding to attend this Saturday, so I might end up seeing you there on Sunday.

Don't be so disappointed. I have good news. This past Saturday water was up to 72 degrees.

I have been out there the past 5 Saturdays and the water has been high 50's up to 62 this past weekend. Vis has been bad at 10 feet or less. Will be back this coming weekend as well.

Well, I have experience only at one place. Mt. Storm, WV. It is a cooling lake for a large coal powered electric plant. Lake is pretty darn big, goes down to around 130 and vis. is, well, its a lake so don't expect much. It is a high altitude dive and in the winter months expect very cold air...

Imagine that. You probably had the same amount of training with your suit as I did too.

I will definately have to work with the dump valve. I am actually looking forward to trying out everyones tips this weekend.

Keep the great advice coming. You guys are really helping out. I will probably try to work with it some this weekend up at the lake. I am interested in how warm this thing really is too.

Of course it's not me. I am a diving prodigy. Drysuits suck, I am just the only one that realizes it :rolleyes: I always liked the computer geek saying : S T F U

Yeah, we work and dive together. Coop is the other guy we work with. He is sorta our boss, but not really, but we kinda let him think he is, hard to explain. Anyways this dude is freaking nuts. He has a severe god complex and the funny thing is he pretty much sucks at his job. He has been acting...

Thanks everyone for the words of advice. I needed to vent about my first experience with the DS. Your tips and tricks are great and I almost look forward to going out and trying the darn thing again. I will definately give it time and also check into a class or at the very least seek out help...

10 dives, really? WOW. I guess I can give another try. I knew it would be alot different from a wetsuit, but not expecting what I got. I will keep working on it and check into a speciality class too.

Sorry about the rant. We were shown the basic idea, but not too in depth. It is a custom fit by Whites the Aqua Pro SE. Fits good I guess, not baggy. If you can provide any tips, it would be greatly appreciated and will save it from becoming a very expensive pile of garbage laying in the corner...

Like the title states, I hate drysuits. Got mine today and I wore it for the first and last time! The most uncomfortable, bouyant, irratating, thing I have ever tried to swim in. And I mean tried. Wasn't much swimming to it. Just alot of floating around with my damn feet straight up over my head...

I'm working my way over there!

Why is your Coop timer set so high? Mine would be counting down from like 12 hours, not days. Hey, shouldn't you be in bed? Don't you have bi tc h work to do in the morning?
