Drove down to San Diego last Thursday to do a bit of wreck diving with the fine folks from Aquatic Discovery. I haven't dived in California for years because of the cold water here and I'd promised myself that I'd learn how to use a drysuit before trying again.
Which I did, before the trip. I'm happy to report that I'm now a firm believer in drysuits. Even with the rental drysuit that didn't fit particularly well, it was just sooo much more comfortable. It's not 100% dry, but it's a heck of a lot better than a wetsuit, and you're much warmer as well.
On Friday, we dove Lazy Days (where I missed seeing a six gill shark swim by) and Seven Fathom Reef; on Saturday, we dove the Yukon and the Ruby E; and on Sunday, we dove the Yukon twice more. The Yukon, an ex-Canadian destroyer that was sunk to form an artificial reef, was definitely worth three dives.
