I convinced a friend of mine to take scuba lessons and she was certified last Sunday in a Sierra lake. I want her to get bottom time in the ocean next and I am concerned about exposure protection. She is very thin and gets cold easily. I don't want her to waste money on a drysuit class but the shops demand the C card before renting the suits. If she freezes on the next few dives I know she will get discouraged and give up on diving.
She won't invest in a drysuit without experiencing local diving and she won't enjoy local diving if she is cold.
How did those of you with diving WAGS get them past the early uncomfortable stage of cold water diving?
