Cold!

[Gidds]

Ha!You all thought you got rid of me eh? Wrong! I've just been dormant while the water is cold. Any guesstimates as to when it might hit 50F? I'll settle for 45 (I can't beleive I just said that!) :frown:

I can only stay in for half an hour at 40F before I get dangerously cold. No point in getting in at the moment since it's a big fat 37F.

Maybe Santa Claus will bring ya some thicker undies for Christmas this year.

But, yes, do not put yourself in harm's way.

If my undies get any thicker I won't be able to put on my fins without a pit crew!

What kind of undies are you wearing? I've got a 400G thinsulate jumpsuit and it keeps me warm for as long as I can dive on a tank.

I thought John already was your pit crew?

Same here. DUI400 undergarment with 7mm gloves and hood. Although after an hour in 37deg water my finger tips started to feel it. But had plenty of lobsters by that time anyway.

Silence beasty people with way more muscle mass than me! I DO wear 400g of fleece but I am perma-cold so I give up but that nice little chart Chris posted a link to says it's getting warm soon enough.
