Well, I'm back from another fine day of diving. That is, the diving was good, the weather was bad.

It's raining here. What's the deal? Don't they know I came for the sunshine?

Actually, the rain is fine, I rather like it. However, with the clouds, there is a bit of a drop in temperature. I like to dive when it is warm over the water, that way when I climb out of the water, slightly cold from prolonged exposure to water at least a couple degrees cooler than my skin, the sun is beating down on me like a hammer, and the sea water evaporates right off my skin in moments. Perfect.

As it was, I actually had to put a sweater on between dives.

However, when I was last diving in Canada, I remember a guy on the dive trip told me he decided to buy a dry suit the day he was shaking the ice out of his wetsuit before pulling it on.

It's definately not that bad here. In fact, it is quite luxurious by comparison.

Two more dives tomorrow.
