From: ddrake01 <start In one of his recent postings, George suggested going to the source for the right information and suggested if you wanna know about keeping warm in cold water, ask the Canadians. I think he says this just to underscore how damn crazy we are to dive in water cold enough to put a chill on a beer. But the point is this George...I've asked lots of Canadians how to stay warm and nobody's got it down pat yet. My hands still get cold even with dry gloves and argon...go figure. Of course on the up side it means we never have to wory much about whether we are going to dive using the rule of halves or the rule of thirds or something else, since, we always seem to get cold just about the time we click into the 30 foot deco...anydeeper than that and you're below the thermocline :-) Take care, Dive safe and keep buying that software!!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet: steve.lewis@pr*.or* (Steve Lewis) This message lovingly processed in beautiful Muskoka, Ontario, Canada by: stop> Well, this American uses dry-five gloves with liner inserts. These are the Micheal Jackson gloves, i.e. they are silvery with aluminum metal flakes in the fabric. They really improve the glove's warmth, especially when they flood. You can find them in dive/hunting/mountainering stores. I do stops at forty feet, below the thermocline for a little while. If you're cold on the wreck and you're dry, look into more/better insulation such as polypro/capalien (sp?) underwear. My trimix buds use it on their 240 ft dives on the Lady Duf. wall up in Tobe, Canada. I use it all the time. Steve, did you get my message about being in Tobe Aug. 5-6?--DD P.S. Does anyone have or know of any openings on a Isle Royale charter latter this year? David B. Drake ahdnn1a.ddrake01@ed*.co* Romulus, Michigan, USA EDS/GM Powertrain 8-375-5467 (GM NET)
