Tomorrow will be
my first dive in a couple of years. I had to bust out the ole
PADI book and go through it to make sure I remembered the important
things. Something about not coming up too fast... :D I
told a buddy at work about the dive and I found out that he got onto
the same one. I'm a bit nervous. Not like an ?oh my god I'm
going to die? nervous, but more of a "hope the wetsuit fits enough so
I'm not friggin cold and burn all my air up quick" nervous. I
ordered a mask last week in the hopes that it would get here today, but
alas, delivery is for tomorrow, and since I have to go straight there
from work, I'm sunk (pun - sorry). I mentioned the dive a couple of days ago, so I won't re-hash it. But I'm really excited. ------------subject change ------------------------- Been thinking about drysuits.
I really want to get one, and was thinking about one on sale at a LDS
that didn't fit perfectly. It would appear that according to the fashion industry, people with arms as long as mine also have necks as thick as my thigh. The dive industry seems to be related. Maybe they're cousins or something. Or at least know each other at the apparel industry family reunions.
I think I'm going to just keep my money and save up for one that I find
that fits just so, or get one custom fit. All the reading I've
done and it seems everyone says the biggest deal about drysuits is
fit. Fit first, features second. I've been looking at the Diving Concepts
(why does they're website kinda suck? Think if I offered to help
them out, they'd outfit me?). They seem to offer custom fitting
for $100 over stock prices. Better than a kick in the head.
I also think I'm leaning towards a trilaminate or crushed
neoprene. -----------subject change #2------------------------- Congrats to Missy for her discovery. If I want a book signed, where do I go?
