It drives me nuts to hear people say that. But in some ways that is what the year has been like up to now.

Been to Florida more times than I can count since January and I have been able to dive only two days. Two dives in the National Aquarium in Baltimore and two at Dutch Springs in Bethlehem, PA during the DUI DOG Rally. At least I’ve got two specialty certs (Aquarium , and Dry Suit ) and maybe a busted eardrum from the last ascent during dry suit. Probably caused by reverse block from the reaction to the cold water and all the somersaults done during position recovery practice in the dry suit. Hmmmpf... I will dive Blue Heron Bridge and the Keys before the year is out. So convince me I need a dry suit after that... I am not sure I enjoy cold water diving that much.

Come on tell me why I need to like it!
