Comments and Feedback
Holyrood Marina is an Adopted Dive site. Today DB, PO and I did a dive against debris. We are hardy drysuit divers well versed in diving in the cold waters of the North Atlantic. But come on! We did not plan for -1 degree C at 35 feet on September 4. The average water temps are closer to 12 degrees C this time of year. The cold drove me out of there water. Poor glove selection!! Regardless we still made a good haul of debris. Left some behind for some future dives. Way to go guys, we did giver till we shivered.
