it is absolutely necessary to wear gloves in cold water. you can feel your
hands for a longer time which means you can manipulate your gear. during
extended dives in cold water, however, something as simple as shifting stages
becomes a real task, even with gloves. i would venture to say, it could not
be done without them in this case.
for mobility and a tolerable degree of 'feeling', i use 3mm gloves. the
5's are just too thick.-jason
