The waters 13 degrees c (56f). The two divers are about to put regs in mouth and drop down for a dive.
But somethings wrong. How fast can you spot the flaw?

That's pretty obvious...:D
 
Looks like neither of them turned on their air, LP hoses limp. Faces dry, neither of them "kissed the water" before a cold dive, good way to aspirate if one loses a mask, the main secondary regs should be held underwater unless the air temp is high. And the answer is...
 
ahh sorry guys-we're metric-13 c is 56f roughly
 
13 degrees has to be C. So that is about 55 degrees F. Cold but not real cold. First thing I noticed was no gloves. Second was I did not see the spare octo but the diver on the left might have a long hose and being going to share the primary. Hard to tell quickly for me from photo. I could not see the tanks for either one of them. Missing tank not so good.
 
Right side diver puts his gloves on in the water -yea i dunno why either.
left diver has long hose reg in his left hand
Both divers have tanks.
No occy true--but air2 visible on left shoulder.
Ahh sorry guys was making fun of myself-Hood not tucked makes it not a lot of use.
 
The gloves are a personal issue, I find 60 and below I feel I need gloves.

I think the guy on the left has an integrated octo/inflator.

I notice that the chest strap on the diver on the left is either not clipped or broken.
 
I have a hood that I often used to dive with. In 55 degree water I would not tuck it. Gave me enough head warmth and kept leakage out from the core. Knew many tucked but did not like that feeling.
