> recently have gone scuba diving with two other guys - once with one guy, the other one two times. the first one had lost his wedding ring in the lake in about ten feet of water when he jumped off a dock. went to look for it and was wearing brown wranglers, brown tshirt, tan l/s magallen brand shirt, brown leather belt, brown squared-toed steel toed western boots, and bike shorts. water was bathtub temp and felt great. he did not seem fazed a bit that i went in like that. did not find the ring but he said he used to dive and would like to give it another try if i was willing to. told him of course, asked if he had any of his equipment with him. he said no, it was several hours away. told him i would supply whatever he needed and told him (of course) that since the water was a warm as it was he did not even need a wetsuit - just go in with clothes on like i did - in particular pants instead of a swimsuit since it would keep him from scraping his knees on the bottom. he agreed willingly.

> we met up a week later - i was in blue wranglers, black western boots, black/gray plaid l/s button down, black pocket t, and black shorts. he was in white tshirt and khakis, and wearing a pair of my desert storm lace up boots. we did an initial dive for about five minutes to see how he was doing. he was ok, i asked were the clothes too heavy, he said they were extremely comfortable. we did a full dive and unfortunantly did not find the ring but told him we will come back in the winter when the water drops and sift thru the mud to find it. when we both got done with the dive we had mud on our pants legs from being on the bottom of the lake sifting thru the dirt. asked him since we just got done diving was he ready to go in for a swim to get the mud off. he looked down at himself, said good idea, and we dove back in - boots and all. he said it was more comfortable than he thought. maybe have another convert - and i also got paid for going up there. not a bad day.

> the other guy was a new member of our dive team who is joining up as a support member until he gets requalified on some of his skills. offered to take him diving to brush up on some of his skills. he was eager to do that and again offered my extra gear, and also again not to bother with a wetsuit. he is military and is used to going thru swim qualifications, etc. we showed up and i was wearing same brown wranglers and steel toed boots, brown tshirt, black l/s button down, brown belt and black shorts. he was wearing black tshirt, khakis, and desert storm boots that he brought. went for the dive and he completely enjoyed it. called him a few days later and asked did he want to do it again. he jumped at the bit and we showed up again - this time i am in blue wranglers, black steel toed western boots, black t, black belt, khaki l/s shirt with black collar insert. he showed up again wearing same as last time - black tshirt, khakis, desert storm boots. last time he tucked them into the boots, this time he left them loose. again he enjoyed the dive and i asked him did he get chilly in the water. he said no, and he understood why i did not wear a wetsuit - that just the wet clothes felt good. he is also looking foreward to another dive.
