    Default Valuable lesson learned in a cave yesterday.

    If you have your buddy zip up your drysuit... Make sure he zips it all the way. Thanks STAIRMAN!

    It's amazing how the last 1/2" really means the difference between copletely soaked or completely dry.

    All kidding aside. I had a great time diving yesterday. Thank you Linda, Bill and the the people running boat trips to Telford and everyone else that helped make the event happen. I had a great time and met lots of wonderful people.

    I did a pretty stupid thing with my farmer John yesterday. I put the top on while the bottom was still wrapped around my waist. Not as bad as a flooded dry suit but pretty funny.

    I can attest to that lesson personally. But I'm diving wet these days, so hopefully, not an issue. Although, like ScubaRob, it is a farmer john, so......

    Whenever I zip someone's drysuit I always ask, "Leave a half-inch for ventilation, right?" Nobody ever laughs.

    (Loving my front-zip suit more and more.)

    Whoever said money can't buy love never bought a puppy.

    I always thought it was,"Pull the zipper all the way to the stop and back off a 1/4 inch"
