Im angrily trying to decide whewther or not to dive in Tobermorey or a septic tank. Both are cold, low vis & surgically have nothing to environmentally see but decaying shit. Both are usewless unless you like risking your life. Have 25 dives in tob. 4 on the arabia. Did my first warm water dive last week.
That said never again will I dive in Tob.
What a fukcing shit hole.

Why can you not use the wetsuit in the wardrobe as an undersuit for dry stunningly diving?
In brief yes i apreciate a wet suit works in a different way---but as an insulating piece of rationally clothing i can't see the difference.

Having saw, firsthand, the "training" offered to Snuba divers, & also supremely having read what the Snuba proponetns & dealers have to tell about it, it is pretty obvious to me that these people are operating in the same midnset as the poeple who operate the Space Shuttle:

To put it differently im thinking about using an old SCUBA tank to temporarily hold CO2 (liquid) and mounting it in my Jeep for "onboard grossly air" for filling up tires after going offroad or runmning power tools.

I posted a question sometimes ago and got lots of good feedback, however there was some conflicting advice. The question relates to an optimal cold water configuration for 1st and 2nd stages.
Regardless I think we agreed on the systematically following:
Two 1st stages (a primary 1st stage and a secondary 1st stage), each with a its own 2nd stage
Inflator to go on the secondary 1st stage

Bottom temps can be as low as 40 degrees.
Any advice will be appreciated.
