Borrow drysuit?

[BeeEye]

Morning all,

I've just passed a trainee in the last of his pool session items. We have an opportunity to go do his first open water dive on this coming Sunday:)

We have a problem:confused:

He is 6 foot ish.............probably slightly taller. Has size 12 feet. Skinny bugger. (Make you sick really:D). Anyone got a suitable/may well fit drysuit we could borrow to cover off first real dives? The club stuff I have is too small, particularly in the feet department.

Appreciate this is a long shot, especially so late in the day, but if you don't ask you don't get.:rolleyes:

Can anyone help?

I have a spare dry suit Northern diver i am about six foot, boots are about 11-12. Only catch i am in Stirling area

Thanks for such a quick response. I'll PM you the guys details. If he's deperately keen I'll get him to contact you.

Will hang on for now and see if anyone closer to home (West coast area) comes up trumps.

Cheers Bob.

Update - Bob, the lad will be in your area later today. I've PM'd you his details. Could you give him a call and see if you guys can meet?

Many thanks,

[bob]

Have spoken with him and he will pop in this afternoon. No worries :)

Hope you got a suit. C.A. to the rescue. :thumbup::thumbup:

[BeeEye]

Yes indeed DG. Bob and CA to the rescue :) All sorted for tomorrow.

Big thanks Bob.

Big thanks to Bob :thumbup:

Matt had his first two open water dives today - St Cats #1 then Furnace Tearooms. He really enjoyed himself and did really well with his buoyancy, which I thought was excellent particularly using a borrowed suit.

Cheers to Bob, and to 'Conger Alley' for providing the mechanism for sorting it all out.:D

You are more than welcome, we all know how expensive it is to get things sorted out that early in your dive career. Glad to be of service.

Incidentally Matt i like your business card, Gave me and the wife a good laugh;). Glad to hear all went well:)

Cheers Bob
