hello from south dakota

i read the boards from time to time but this is my first time writing anything. I live in south dakota ya thats right , gee guess why my log name is nolakes. I do all my diving in duluth minnesota "lake superior" and brainard. I got certified on an evo this past summer. The fist day on it in the pool was like diving for the first time. the fact that i kept hitting the pool bottom the first day sucked but by the end of the cert class felt comfortable with my bouyancy as oc. i dont want to go back to oc but the cost of an evo will keep me on oc for a while. any one else in SD or dive in lake superior?

I know what you mean! My first CCR dive was a nightmare; trying to control my buoyancy and unlearn 15 years of OC skills

Anyway, we persevere and eventually reap benefits.
