Bob Hines' observation that "...Very few people in the Great Lakes area wear
Drysuits, unless they are doing Ice diving or extended deeper diving in the
cold..." would suggest to me that Bob does very little diving in the Great
Lakes.  I've been actively diving the Great Lakes for 12 years and it seems
to me, from what I've observed, the majority of divers are diving dry,
"technical" and "sport" divers alike.  It seems to me that being cold has
nothing to do with being a wimp...but being "macho" about diving wet in cold
water is stupidity.

Bob, provide a sound argument for diving a wetsuit in the cold waters of the
Great Lakes beyond "You get used to the cold after about 20 years of it.".
