Since I relocated to south Florida last year I have been enjoying the year-round diving. Not that I did not dive year-round in the north but there is a bit of a difference. Here is what i miss and don't miss as told in pictures:
I don't miss waiting for the ice to melt so we don't have to go through the trouble of a setup with ropes and coordinating surface personnel
I do miss goofing around with my great dive buddies like this one. We swear he has gills. He gets well over an hour at 50' with a steel 72 in 34F degree water
I
I don't miss the scenic beauty of rusted metal roofs
I don't miss the cold water and wind
I don't miss the darkness after the first 20' of depth in a lake
Did I say I don't miss the cold 34F degree water?
I don't miss the poor visibility and "surface of the moon" like bottom of cold, dark lakes
I do miss popping up near the docks and boathouses scaring people
I don't miss the beautiful brown view of the trees. I traded them in for greenery and palm trees
