Sorry, biological dry suit heating was perfected by a chemical 
engineer from Dupont awhile ago. He scarfed down some onion rings 
then went for a cave dive in Manatee last december, rumour has it 
that his drysuit is still not the same. You should have seen the look 
on his buddies face when he unzipped the suit. One word - phew.
