Pls don't answer to >me " get a Dry Suit " Unfortunately, "get a dry suit" is quite probably the right answer. Manos, I don't know what you are calling "quite warm" water. 5mm neoprene wetsuit is suitable for what we in Texas consider fairly cold water (say, down to 65 F / 18 C or so). I am told by knowledgeable local divers that drysuits are suitable for all water temperatures, given only a careful choice of thermal undergarments. At least one company makes a drysuit that they advertise as being specifically intended for warm water diving. >With empty wings at 35 meters i try to deploy a lift back and winch my >self up.

This sounds like a good emergency procedure rehearsal, but it also sounds like you are dangerously overweighted. Given that you were wearing a 5mm neoprene wetsuit, that probably requires close to 20 lbs / 9 kg of lead at the surface, that had lost half its buoyancy due to compression at depth, this is perhaps not surprising. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
