I agree Dave,

I don't doubt that it can be done, Yes I've had to do it myself.  My
only comment is that if you don't have to then don't.  If there are
shackles, bolt snaps, clips or whatever out there that don't require
this, then use them.  Why use something that you'd have to take your
gloves off for?  I know the wrecks in the NE are sharp, sliced many
gloves.  I hate having to take them off when on a wreck (like fooling
with an anchor shackle).  The last thing you want to do is slice open
your hand on a wreck.

	I dive year round off the west coast of British Columbia in
temps. ranging
	from mid-30's to mid-40's.I do not regularly shed my (wet)
gloves,but do not
	perceive it as a problem if I have to.It may be necessary when
dealing with
	chain/shackles/lines/tools or as simple as pulling a glove off
to press a
	button on a computer or watch/timer.Then you put the glove back
on.I admit
	you don't want to do this all the time,but it is no
biggie.Before anyone
	starts,I dive a drysuit with wet gloves.

	Later,
	Dave Grey.
