So, I am going to be doing as much diving between now and when things start to freeze. Does anyone have ideas on how to stay warm during surface interval?

- Get inside or stay out of the wind.
- Get out of the wetsuit.
- Get dry quickly.
- Put lots of warm clothes on.
- Drink something warm.
- Eat something high calorie.
- Flood your suit with hot water after you put it back on.
Yet another reason to make the switch to dry... :05:

I would also recommend hand warmers and thermoses (thermi?) with coffee, hot chocolate and soup.

Hot water in the suit before you put it back on. Warm water after putting it on.

ok...but lets say I have nowhere to go "into" between dives....
At some point, the answer will be simple: go dry or stay dry.lord1234:

Get it off and or rolled down to your waist and get your upper body into something warm and dry. Wear a real good hat Get some windpants over the legs to slow the air exchange. Spike the bottom with warm water to get it even with you body temperature. Drink warm fluids and fuel the firnace with calories.
Before going back in re-spike with warm water to avoid the cold rush. Get behind somehting to avoid the wind.
Do what you can do, when it's over it's over. This will be my first fall for diving too but a lot of this did wonders for skin-diving.

Take it off put on warm clothes and drink hot fluids and eat a nice meal not too heavy but enough to give your body some energy.

One of the best investments for dive gear I ever made has been a long, deck jacket from USIA (even before I bought my USIA drysuit!).
