Subject: Water Temps Around the Doria

Good morning,

We will be diving the Doria on the Wahoo, June 29-July 3.  One of our 
group is very cold natured and is wondering what sort of temps we may 
encounter.  I know this may vary greatly, but I'm looking for some sort of 
general idea.  She is planning on getting the super heavy undergarments if 
it seems like it may be really cold.  

Another thing I would like to know is what kind of space is aboard the 
Wahoo for storing cylinders.  We are currently trying to figure out the 
logistics of He and O2 cylinders.  I would be interested in hearing from 
people who have been on the Wahoo.  Are gases readily available?  What 
about renting cylinders on site?  Currently we are planning to ship 
everything.  The freight cost is going to be high.  The more we know in 
advance the better prepared we can be.  Comparing notes with others seems 
the best way of doing this.  I *have* heard good things about the cooking 
aboard. :)  So food shouldn't be a problem.  Someone (I can't find the 
post) told me that the conditions aboard are Spartan.  That could mean a 
lot of things.  Info/comments would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jim
