"Welcome and Happy Diving, from a Northeasterner! I am curious if you are wetsuit or drysuit diving in your area?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are no dive sites in Fresno- It is a agriculture area located inland - Divers travel to the Pacific ocean to dive.
Wet suits and Dry suits are used - individual preference
but "some time in the summer and some times in the fall we dive with nothing on at all"
