When ya have to go, you just have to go

Something about drinking lots of coffee on a 90 degree morning in 100% humidity then jumping into the local quarry thats about 56 degrees @45 ft makes ya feel all warm inside.


There are divers that P in thier wet-suits and there are divers that lie about it.

I pee in mine all the time. I look forward to it. Its a 15 second relief from the cold. Anmd yes water can get kind of cold down her in Florida. Febuary temps are around 68 deg. brrrrrrrr

oo your getting me ant-see im going to crystal river on wed. and i cant wait to jump in that nice 72 deg water (whats a wetsuit) come on dave were Florida boys you dont need a wet suit lol

 

[Glove]

68 and you say brrr.... lol.
Floridians
Come do an ice dive up here in Indiana sometime, its a blast!
We have a local quarry thats approx 55 ft deep. Bottom 15 hardly changes from low forties in winter and maybe 55 in the hottest of summer. My computer doesnt record lowest temps, its more the temp of the depth I was at the longest. 68 is full wetsuit, hooded vest and some gloves here. But if you need to get into that lower 15 feet with only a wet-suit, things get cold real quick.
Those extra liquids help in those situatons.

I have always wanted to take the tube tour on the crystal river. Can you still do that?

WOW what a woderfull dive that was i didnt go to crystal river but went to ginnie springs instead last time i only went into the grand ballroom and the santa fe river this time i did that as well and a place called devils ear and devils eye and a nether one what a dive sofar ive only been onb 6 dives and this was by far the best one yet untill the gulf clears up a bit.
GLOVE- i am not sure about crystal river tubing but ginniw srings has a nice tube ride down the river if your ever in the area.
take care all

Anmd yes water can get kind of cold down her in Florida. Febuary temps are around 68 deg.

The WARMEST I've ever been in here in Puget Sound is 52*F. Peeing is drysuits doesn't quite achieve the same result...
