Just looking for opinions before I pull the trigger-- I currently dive a 7mm full suit & a 5mil dry suit hood & gloves when I head to "the pit" in my quarry (90ft; 45* f all year; even if surface temps reach the 80's) I get cold. Every time. Not bitter cold to need a dry suit but cold...

So I'm at the quarry this afternoon, I pull my 7mil suit out, and start to put it on. I get my foot in but reach some resistance at the bottom in the cuff. I think it's just the way I'm putting it on, so I attempt to pull the other leg on. Same result. What the world? So I pull it completely...

For a minute, when I saw "Lizard Leg" had replied to my original post, I got excited thinking Lizard Lick...you know, the tow shop that has a TV show from the Raleigh NC area... irrelevance is irrelevant.

so....I'm not sure when my original thread got derailed somewhere 2 or 3 pages back, but this thread is pretty much useless now other than a couple scattered comments in the last 30~ish. but I'm just the dumb newb & the OP, so what do I know? :)

He may not really be an arse. I he & I have our moments. He has taught me all my classes thus-far, and some days he is just fine. yes, the quarry & the shop are both "south of the border". Trying really really hard to leave names out of this whole thing, but apparently I should have left out...

...91 feet. Local quarry. Saw a platform. And a mirror. and a thermometer that said it was cold. Been down there several times, and it's the same thing this time as last time: nothing. Cold dark water.

welcome to the board! you gotta get out there and blow some bubbles again soon!

welcome! what agency are you using for your certification?

Thanks for the response Tom!

Looking for a little thin wetsuit for a couple Myrtle Beach dives coming up in August. They say temps are high 70's low 80's from what I understand. Will a 1mil suit keep me from getting cold or is a 3 mil necessary? Either one will be a fullsuit. Thanks in advance--

Dive class is a union benefit, because by the time you reach divemaster, you are a "professional" the union benefit goes toward getting you school/training to find other/better jobs outside the factory. So I could use the same fund to go to the local community college & take courses toward a...

I do well on boats, I have several times visited the little gambling boat charters that leave out from little river also. I knew it was 99% wreck diving, or at least that's all I have heard about

The shop isn't giving the class away. He charges some $900 for it. But my workplace (I work for a union factory, so this is a union benefit) will pay the cost for the course if I wish to take it. But I see where you are going with this. I am also in agreement that unplanned deco @150ft seems...

found a dropped weight pocket that had a 5lb soft weight inside at the local quarry.

why get divemaster: not sure, really. I guess like you all said it, just the "natural progression" of things. I dont really have any desire to teach or etc, so I'm really not sure why I'd take it. I can say for certain that I would not take the class if I was paying for it. Also, I'm sort...

thanks y'all

I'm not entitled to a discount, but after spending as much as I have, and knowing that things can be had for substantially cheaper, it makes me question why I spend my money there. Other things of note: I dove with him back in November to get certified. I didn't buy anything, stop in, or...

Glad to have a little affirmation that I'm doing the right thing by moving on. Any thoughts on the divemaster thing?

Hi all. I'm new here, and reasonably new to diving. My wife & I are both divers, and we are planning our first salt dive in two weeks. Pretty excited about it. Heading to Myrtle Beach Sc. Hopefully someone here will suggest which dive charter is most likely our better option for being new...
