December Roll Call

[deepsea21]

Sorry to hear that Vic. Cozumel isn't going anywhere - Maybe 2018.

On prior trips they've had coats in the hold in front of the captain they have pulled out for a divers who got chilled. I don't know if they have 3, 4 or 10 coats stuffed in there. Perhaps someone else can comment. If it is windy/chilly topside, as soon as I finish a dive and am back on the boat I shed all neoprene as soon as possible, dry off, and spend the SI in the sun. Those who get pretty chilled topside have usually left their wet suits on or kept them on from the waist down because they "feel" warm in the neoprene instead of biting the bullet and shedding it all.

Also, get yourself a tropic beanie. For years I thought beanies were for sissies (my wife has had one for years) and I wouldn't be caught dead in one. Then one trip it was chilly for several days and that was when I learned the power of the tropic beanie. These days I'll never go diving without one, even in 80 degree water. Buy it here as there are NONE to be found on the island and I looked everywhere... Only those nasty full hoods that crush my head are available on the island.

Here is a link to the one I bought - XS Scuba 2 mm Tropic Beanie

Best $20 I ever spent. 2MM on the head beats an extra 2MM thickness in a full suit any day. If ya do get one - first thing you do is put it on your head and put your finger at the back of your head where you think your highest point will be when diving depending on how you hold your head. Take a nail and heat it up with a lighter until it is hot hot hot and poke a hole through it at that point for a vent. Heck, poke a few. I know, it sounds crazy to burn vent holes in a perfect new beanie but if ya don't you'll be doing it after your first dive with it as it catches air bubbles from your reg. Pony at 3P's shop has lighters and poking utensils for just this sort of thing.

Concur with @deepsea21 regarding a tropic beanie-- A life changer. If you really want to make a fashion statement and make sure your dive buddy can pick you out in a crowd, then go with the one I have - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001L7Z6AU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
