I made my first dive with a dry suit in open water on December25th, 2005 off the east side of Big Mosquito Island in Jeju Korea. I had done a couple pool exercises the weekend before and figured it shouldn”t be a problem.

Our first dive was to 100 fsw. I was using Nitrox EAN 32 for this dive. The islands off this area of Jeju are old volcanic vents which the magma cooled and solidified in. Over a few millennium, the outer dome eroded off and left the solidified magma like a monolith rising from the sea bed almost 200 fsw below. This is wall diving. Read the rest of this entry »

We did it! The weather cooperated and we finished the class. We got to Daejin late Saturday but still managed to make two dives.

After a big barbeque, the Z monster got us and it was off the the hotel to crash. The next morning arrived too early. But, we hit the water anyway. two more dives.

Everybody did so well, we made the last dive a fun one. Everybody enjoyed it, especially me and Frank. We got down to 36 feet and surge was minimal.

Thoroughly enjoying himself.
