I forget who it was, maybe Lundgren, who commented last winter that the main problem he ran into was that if he spent too much time out of the water before he got out of his dry suit, it froze solid and he couldn't move without assistance. Here in Pennsylvania, we dive when the snow is falling, but that kind of cold takes someone who really has his act together. Makes the point that DIR is DIR, weather and dive conditions are secondary. Wendell Trey wrote: > > Lundgren is in Sweden and dives even in the winter there.
