Winter Diving, how to:
Many divers during this time of year will start diving tropical destinations and that is great for those who may have the pleasure to do so. Advantages for diving now; many times better visibiltiy, less divers in the water, easier access to dive sites, see different aquatic life and it feels warmer in the water then out of the water. (1) To make your diving as peasurable as possible, you will need a good exposure suit (dry suit best), if wetsuit diving you may find one dive per day is best. Put a good portion of the suit on before arriving to the dive site. (2) Pre-set your gear up before getting to the dive site this way you are not exposure to the elements, also if you have any issues you take care of it at that time. (3) Keep yourself covered up with wind/water resistant clothing over your exposure suit especially if diving in a wetsuit, this is a must. (4) Have your hood on if you are outdoors at all times or a wool stocking cap, your biggest heat loss is out your head. (5) If you plan to make a second dive make sure to cover up immediately once out of the water, do not take any of your exposure gear off until you are ready to get in an enclosed area, dry you head/hands off immediately once you hood/gloves are off and cover up. (6) If any of your neoprene gear is wet, some people feel it helps to put warm water inside before putting on, be careful water conducts heat faster than air and don't use hot water it is easy to burn yourself. These may seems to be common sense ideas but you would be amazed at how many people I see put in flip flops, no head protection of any kind and stand outside to talk about there dive. NOTE: Please keep in mind every second counts and you must retain your heat as quickly as possible, you may not notice it but you are losing heat everytime, before you dive, during your dive and after your dive.
