Had a buddy come up after 45 mins with me with blue lips and slurring his words.. so dry suit is the way to go locally, but I guess my extra layer of "insulation" kept it reasonably comfortable for me in the wetsuit.

Dove when I was in my 20s, man, I was brave, wetsuits and I dove Whytecliff & Porteau Cove etc. Then I went all the way to get my Dive Master & Instructor license.
Now, i'm too old and all my buddies are married with kids. Last time i dove was 6 yrs ago in Bali. Only warm water diving for me.
300 ft wrecks (Chaudiere);I almost got stuck in there / got caught and couldn't free myself until a good 2 min.
737 at comox. super fun to go inside.

my photo: octopus... they do change color and if you take off your gloves, they will try to suck onto your fingers cause it detects body warmth.
