Dry Suit Training as an Assistant

Jerry just bought a new Waterproof D1 Dry suit and Lee has had a DUI for a while, both needed training.  The shop is closed on Wednesday so what better way to spend hump day than diving.  

We all got in the shop van early and headed to southern Virginia.  Midweek we nearly had the lake to ourselves.  

End of May the water is getting warmer 64 degrees 30 feet, not bad for this time of year.

My task was to assist with the class as I am interning to teach Dry Suit instructor with the shop.  Tige gave me a few pointer and observations that will help with the next class I assist with.

A couple of dives working on their skills, a few tours around the lake so they could get used to the changes in buoyancy and the effect of pressure at depth.  Yeah, they got this.  Two more dry suit divers, done.

A good day of diving. A few minor trickles of water in the suits between the four of us. All and all a go way to spend a Wednesday.
