I had heard mixed stories about dry suit diving – some had mentioned the benefits of diving in the cold (I even know of an instructor who gives pool training in his dry suit)! Others again had mentioned difficulties with maneuvering…so when my dive guru asked me whether I wanted to try his dry suit on a casual dive and then attempt my dry suit specialty, I was very doubtful. I had visions of bobbing around in the ocean like an Oros man…but, always being willing to try something new, I decided to give it a try…and I’m glad that I did!
