I over heated my first dive

That's right overheated the water was 51 and I was over dressed.

I've been doing OC tech dives from this boat for a couple of years. Until recently, the captain was very skittish with RBs. Since my CCR conversion this spring, I've been working on him to change the policy. With the help of some dive buddies, he changed his Rebreather policy in a statement just a few weeks ago. My KISS and I boarded the boat the next weekend and were welcomed by a few leers and a lot of friendly ribbing.

This afternoon, I heard from other passengers that three CCR units were aboard. From the descriptions I can identifiy two of the divers. I'm told the third had some major issues, and put the fear of CCR back into the captain.

Thanks M8.

This boat is very fast, and has a quick run to some great wrecks. I hope CCR divers will be able to use it in the future.

PS
I'd like to know what undergarment you wear. Mine's good for an hour in 38 degree water, as well as 2 hours of deco on the SS Carolina, but I can't say I've ever overheated. I'm considering ice diving, and was considering something warmer.
