Visiting the Maldives for a few weeks this December and I've seen mentioned a few times that gloves are suggested when diving there, since there are times when you'll need to hold on to rock/dead coral in the current. Are regular 2mm dive gloves fine, or should something more robust be used, like the kevlar reinforced ones? I don't have gloves (haven't needed them previously), and need to maintain decent dexterity for camera controls, so am leaning towards regular dive gloves. But, if they'll be quickly shredded from use (or easily chomped through by the aggro eels), fumbling with (presumably thicker/stiffer) kevlar ones may have to do.
