That's just crazy! Going from the warm oceans in the Seychelles to the freezing cold lakes in Wisconsin! Actually, I was colder in the Seychelles. The water temp there was usually around 76 - which may not sound cold, but if you are a diver - you know that can get very cold! Plus, I only had my old 3/2 wetsuit.... so I was shivering after most dives. Anyway, the water temp in Lake Owen was 68 and I had my nice 7/5 wetsuit, hood & gloves - so, I wasn't as cold.
So, since lakes are so boring, we have to make it interesting. We go to lake Owen every year for a fun dive weekend. We do a golf ball hunt and Cadillac Hood ornament hunt. The balls & ornaments have numbers on them - so we win prizes. That's a picture of me - sporting my BC Bling.
My older son got to go diving for the first time during this trip.... but he got too cold & was only able to do 2 out of his 4 certification dives. Guess he'll have to wait until spring to finish his Open Water certification. That's him - shivering underwater. He did really well on all his skills though, dispite the cold water.
