how about a "bones ceremony"?

I want to do it. I have 5mm a body+gloves+head+boots set it that enough? (I'm skinny.) I also have a 3mm shorty can that be combined with my 5mm equipment for extra cold protection? I don't have a dry suit or have any idea how to operate one. Advice?

2 hoods are a groove :cool2:
Wear some surgical gloves under your regular gloves... don't ask why 'cause I don't know why it just works better.
Put some lotion on your face before you dive. It helps fight off dry skin peal brought on by the cold water.
Think Warm and be Mean.
Breath Slow and calm and don't move your arms around a bunch it just flushes your suit.
Every time you look behind you you will get a flood of cold water down your back.
Be hydrated but don't Pee in your suit it steals body heat !!
It's OK to think about Sex ... It makes you feel warmer but the cold will keep you from having a "wetsuit boing"

Wear as much as you have. The water should be in the low 40's so you'll be cold no matter what you wear.
I dive wet so I imagine other folks do to.
