Welcome!

I think I need a droog pak too, it's the swimming pool season for me!

Where do you dive? How is it in winter?

I dive anywhere possible... Water temp at the moment is between 7 and 10 degrees Celsius/ 45 - 50 fahrenheit.

Drysuit is nice and comfortable, but people do still dive with wetsuits here... I even have an Advanced Open Water student that dives in a wetsuit... Now that's determination :wink:

In winter the only problem with the cold is when you get out of the water and it's windy.
Then your fingers/hands get really cold to the point where you are nog even able to screw your regulator off your tank...
 
Thank for the link but I don't speak Ducht well enough (yet) to understand (I kom uit Frankrijk), even with Altavista...

I guess it's some crazy Dutchmen diving wet... You guy are mad :11:

Enjoy anyway!

Is the sealife different in winter than in summer in zeeland?

I agree that the worts must be the after dive, even this "summer" it was sometimes a bit difficult...

Voor de winter, ik zit binnen gezelig met een lekker coffee! :coffee:
 
I've done 1C/33F in a wetsuit twice... :snowbear:

Ah battling are we ?
-8C surface, windy, water temp close to freezing point wetsuit
-first year I dove all winter in all temps ice or no ice... all in wetsuit

must confess that i bought a drysuit just after summer was over... :)

Alas no diving today... i am starting to develop a cold and i have an AOW course to finish tomorrow... and that guy is diving wet...:D
