Dear DUI (and Ann Keibler at Oceanic Ventures, TX),
This is a photo of Barbara in Hawaii with a Corsair Plane that ran out of fuel on a training mission in 1946. As you can see she is wearing her DUI 30/30 drysuit and she is very warm. She was the only one warm on the trip - everyone else paid the price of being very cold - including yours truly!
I was expecting warm water and that was not what I got. To make matters worse, between dives, she quickly pulled out her DUI towel and waved it around as she dried her hair. I was in the cabin freezing my buns off!
This photo was taken on April 2, 2008 and I still regret that I left my 30/30 at home. I was sure the waters would be warm. Big mistake! I will be taking my 30/30 to the Dry Tortugas on Memorial day.
