Gilboa Quarry isn't that far from you.
I'm the cold water diving wacko here. Everyone else seems to shudder at the thought!

What you warm water divers don't get is that I'm not interested in diving someplace warm. Fish bore me. The Great Lakes wrecks I've been reading about for 25 years, on the other hand... 
I'm obsessed...

OP- welcome to the forum. |

OP- welcome to the forum. Oh come on FB41, you were a crayon eater for ten years and therefore and must have affected the learning process. That had to mess with the mental mindset and enable you to take a little longer to realize dry suit + cold water = better time than in a wetsuit.

I've got a She-P now and had a p-valve installed in my dry suit a few months ago.

I'm obsessed... Some day I'd love to go dry and check out the Great Lakes. But until then I'm digging the warm water wrecks. |

I started wet in PAC NW I had a DUI drysuit when they first came out. It had a built in horse-collar type BC and did indeed make it more comfortable than a wetsuit... until I had to piss or the damn suit flooded because of a ripped seal.  The pee-valve thing wasn't a commonly available item back then.
I went back to diving wet and only used the drysuit in Alaska or under ice. You'd be surprised how warm a 6mm farmer john and hooded jacket suit can be. ...and I quit eating crayons when I was 7, thank you very much.

Another Columbus Diver here
Gilboa, White Star, Portage, Circleville Twin Quarries (shallow, great for buoyancy practice), Lancaster also has a quarry (not wild about it because fishing is allowed, hate to get tangled in monofilament ) It is good practice to escape though. Take a sharp knife with you. |
