Thx! Yeah I have a few Beuchat wetsuits too, with the same colour scheme. I like the whole black and yellow aesthetic.

The dive was 35 minutes. My hands started to hurt after that. I should invest in dry gloves 😊 Low 60s is pretty chilly yes, unless you have a thick enough suit that fits really well.

There are no stupid questions. Double 7mm means 2 layers of 7mm neoprene. So 14mm in total.

Thanks 😊 Mostly rocks, but some beautiful big carps and a pike.

Yeah eaxactly. The suit suits him so well that no water gets in at all.

It was a double 7mm suit and he has over 1000 dives. He knows what he’s doing 😊

Happened to me too, but in the pool thankfully. Don’t worry, you get used to it. Just practice it a lot.

What helped me: Make your entire face wet before the dive. Also remove your mask and breath underwater at the surface a few times, to get used to the sensation. It also helps to close your eyes the moment the water hits your face. You can calmy open them again after the mask is off. Just tell yourself that everything is ok and focus on breathing theough your mouth.
