[TYPO3] What about T3DIVING?

I was talking about the cold water and that it could be more
comfortable with a dry suit (which needs a special PADI course [1]).

do you want to tell me, that VI is a 3mm divers paradise? I doubt that. 
I'd expect 7mm wet suit + cap + cloves.


BTW: A dry suit is recommended by other divers for Vancouver Island [2]
(they also confirm the great conditions you mentioned!).

I've seen a lot of divers in germany who dive in dry suits as well - and
germany isn't arctic too - well, this year's spring was nearly arctic ;)


Bottom line: Vancouver may be to advanced for the 1st T3Dive, but sounds 
very very good.

nice!
