Scuttled again by bad weather; 3rd week in a row the dive boat hasn't gone out.. :(
Maybe next week the new vintage suit will get used...

Sorry to hear that you didn't get to go out and give your new suit a try.
You know it's not diving weather here in cincy unless your Greg Barlow and Rob out at Blue Spring Indiana, in their dry suits.Brrrr
Rob and I were at a Xmas party last night with some of my fellow work associates. Got to talking with Tate and Pam Cooper, they were doing their check out dives in the quarry this summer and met a really nice guy, guess who? Greg Barlow. :) Small world.
Hope everyone is gearing up for a great Xmas.

Dry suits? Dry suits? We don't need no stinking dry suits! :P
I spent a year in Connecticut back in my Navy days, and went beach diving at night in December with my trusty 3/16" wetsuit. It was also the first time I ever used a double hose, a Dacor R-4 that had been in a box for 20 years.
Now mind you I wore the suit all the way to the dive site, and wore it all the way back too. It were a bit nippy, even for iron men such as my self.. :P
