Over the years, I have changed my tune. I found that dry suit diving was not as intimidating as people made it sound and it really extended my diving season. Diving dry has also opened up new dive locations and made others more comfortable. I cannot imagine diving in 14mm of rubber again (a 7mm one piece suit with a 7mm xip up vest)! Ashton learned to dive in a dry suit so he could go ice diving in New Hampshire. We now run a trip there every year. We also ran a trip to Antarctica earlier in the year – definitely a dry suit location.
One of the ways to find out more about Dry Suit Diving is to attend the Diving Unlimited International DOG Rally and Demo Days. DOG stands for DUI Owners Group and there will be divers there from all over the area. Additionally, you can try out a suit or any type of DUI undergarments. They bring a truckload of stuff to allow you to try anything in their product line. Join Oceanic Ventures staff members, Ashton Arsement, and David Morris as they travel to Terrell Texas for the annual Diving Unlimited International, DUI, DOG Rally and Demo Day.
For $10.00 (15.00 at the gate) you can try the equipment, have lunch and receive a cap. There is also a dinner Saturday night ($10.00 ticket). Prices are higher at the gate so get your ticket from Oceanic Ventures before the event. You can order them by phone or by emailing Ashton@oceanicventures.net.
