Here in texas water temps probably go down to 50F or so. I am still not really mentally prepared to jump in even if I were to have a dry suit.
Thing is, even if you wear a dry suit, you head still has that wet suit type of hoods. If you don't wear a full face mask then your face is pretty exposed to cold water without any layer at all.
Thus, could you explain to me how it feels to jump in into cold water?
Does you head feel really cold at first because cold water enters a dry hood and it takes a while for the water to warm up? Well, can you describe your experience to make me understand how a cold water dive does not become something life threatening?
When you get out, what do you do to your wet head? I mean, if it is cold outside and your head is wet, I guess it is another avenue to catching a deadly cold.
