Nice photo ... the ABLJ suggests you were in a wet suit/semi-dry ... were you?

I'd say Silica Mine would be cold in a semi-dry ... still the carry out would warm you up ;-)

wet suit/semi-dry
Two piece wetsuit made by Ace in Bristol (not sure if they are still about), not uncommon at the time. Used the same suit for a lot of Wookey dives. I used a drysuit for the first time in about 1986.

SixSquid.. coming into this late (situation normal for me).. very impressed with you here! Nice write up too! You are now officially mad then (you have sent your exam off haven't you!? )

Glad to hear it went so well, sounds like you handled yourself pretty well in there!

Well Done

All down to evolution

Recently I started using a wet suit for a cave dive (digging trip) this was to cold so I bought a ND two piece semi dry this was also to cold for digging trips (yes I am a big wimp), so rather than use my Othree rear entry drysuit I bought a front entry membrane suit this was OK but I was not as happy in it as a neoprene suit. So I replaced it with an Otter extreme neoprene front entry suit this is fine. It took a while but I sorted out what I wanted to be comfortable in (as is possible at a dig site).
