brave lads!

I think crazy is more appropriate But for divers that goes without saying.

All I can say is that I am glad that I went as it was very cool to have the snow falling on us while in the water. I used to live up north and so driving in it does not bother me.

My coldest temp for the year so far is 42F. Still on the warm side.

I don't know where you find those cold spots Skookumchuck but I will leave them for you

I didn't see any puget sound or hairy crabs this dive but we did see one last weekend. Also Ron found a small octo in its den, maybe a red octopus.
How come no pics of you gearing up Mike? Anyone else get their coldest ever water temp on the suface? Mine was reading 32 degrees which was the same temperature as my toes.

Coldest ever? Hm I was in Nanaimo early this year and there was ice on the water in the harbor. I didn't check my temp till I got to the bottom though, it was 43. I remember checking it because I wanted to know how cold the water was that had flooded my suit.

I am not laughing at you but with you as I flooded my suit 2 weeks ago also. My zipper opened about 1/4 inch. Ya, it was cold.

I must be a "black cloud" for my fellow divers. Whats with all the leaky suits?????

When I climbed the ladder the cold water ran down into my feet. I must say I didn't particularly enjoy that ...
