Oh.. well that makes allot of sense. Thanks Todd. I had envisioned no more diving until next summer but it seems that I find it hard to stay away from the water. I dove at Circleville Quarry here in Ohio today and am still thawing out my fingertips. It was only a one hour dive in 55 deg temps...brrrr ha ha.. but had a great time..freezing. My 7 mil suit did a great job of keeping me warm up until the last 20 min..then I started to feel the warmth leaving the old bod. So, it looks like I’m still hitting the water at least once a month. I’m headed to Florida the first week in Dec then already thinking of my next dive after that. So, it looks like my tanks my not be sitting around as long as I thought they might. Regardless, its nice to know how to deal with those tanks!! Thanks to all who shared their knowledge and experience. Looking forward to sharing another dive with you Long Islanders and New Jerseyers..at the bridge again next year. By the way, I took care to be properly dressed. I wore a 7.9 mil suit, 5 mil gloves, full hood, and regs that hold up well in cold water, so all was well except for the lips. Someone needs to invent a lip cover.
