Lets see,If I wear a dry suit with a tank top and shorts underneath,I'll be
fairly warm.Yeah,this cold water in Fl. can be a real problem.I guess those
guys who dive the reefs and wrecks there must be real supermen.(I did dive
there
in Boynton in Dec.97.and Miami,Keylargo 94,Key West,Isamorama,Keylargo 95
and I've done all your drift diving,currents,rough seas(what a joke)and
this was 
FAR from challenging).
Dan you still miss my point or your dancing around it.I've dove in your back
yard you can't say the same.I have no doubt that you can master our area,but
to say its a cake walk you have to dive it first.And as for the drift
dive,if I were a cruel person I would address resent mishaps.If you
planning to come up here this summer when and where if its in this area I
can recomend some nice dives or I can plan some dives that should be up to
your skill.This is not a challenge,but an offer for great diving.You can
then say our diving is easy with experience not ego.
Ho yeah when talking about currents or boat speed and things the correct
term is 
knots not mph.And I have incountered your Newfoundland current off of South
Carolina from a tried in boat(I would have perfered not too but once your into
a dive and the current comes you deal with it.)
