Well, my last dive was in minus 1 degree salt water (the air temp.
was minus 20), and I have been using a neoprene wet hood, and I did
not feel cold at all for the 45 minutes or so I spent in the water.

I must say that I keep my hair very short, and prior to enter the 
water, I make sure that there is as little air as much as possible 
inside the hood by rubbing my hands from the top down, to minimize 
the amount of water that comes into the hood.


- -------- Vive le Quebec Libre! (C. De Gaulle, Montreal, 1967) -------- -
.... is english Canada's  continued debasement of quebecers reputations and
the all-too willing nature of  the English media to  portray [Quebec] as a
crumbling banana republic.  It amounts to one of the grossest and longest-
standing libels of a people in this country's history  -  and there are no
journalists in english Canada trying to do anything about it.
