Hello all...
Live in the beautiful Rocky Mountain range of British Columbia, in Cranbrook and have always been an outdoorsman... Usually hunting and fishing, but am interested in diving.....Cranbrook is about 4 hours North of Spokane Wash, if you are not familiar with the area...
Long drive to the ocean, so will be doing fresh water in our local lakes....
Am apprehensive though, as I am a poor swimmer and not reallly a water baby (don't feel comfortable in small boats even)....
Any advice as far as training etc would be greatly appreciated. Also any suggestions regarding gear...Water does not get all that warm around here...Does that mean a dry suit or a 7mm wet suit???
Question for gases??? What gas is to be used when diving shallow? Does it need to be nitrous and oxygen??? Not sure if I could get that in town.....
Am 40 years old, so have got the adrenaline stupidities out of my system...Not a risk taker any more.....
Thanks all....Mike
