DUI Demo Day

Vin and I in our DUI apparel.
Just before jumping in the water to test my suit out!

Thanks to these awesome people at DUI, I was able to attend the DUI Demo in the drysuit they donated to me for the internship! The demo day was an awesome event where everyone was able to try out new suits to see what worked, and what didn’t. I spent the day diving with Vin Malkoski, and this was the first day in the water for the internship! All went well on the first dive, typical diving conditions for me: 15ft of sandy bottom with around 5ft of viz (I normally dive Cape Cod Bay around Sesuit harbor). On the second dive though, I had anĀ embarrassingĀ snag. After about halfway through my dive I couldn’t kick with my left foot, I had so much air in it that I couldn;t get out! Finally right before we were supposed to surface I had to try to flip to get it out, which immediately dislodged my fin, but it was right at the end of the dive, so it was just a little embarassing that my buddies surfaced 20ft in front of me. Outside of the diving it was awesome just talking to people from DUI and mass fisheries, also the barbecue was great. I really want to thank DUI and Undersea Divers for donating the gear I’m wearing here that really made this internship possible!

I have a knack of closing my eyes just in time, but at least the suit looks nice!
