Hello mccabejc:
Cold and Passive
In this case, the circulation to the arms and legs will slow to conserve heat. Gas loadings should be reduced over what one would expect from normal water temperature.
Cold and Active
Here, the diver may start very active movements in an attempt to stay worm. In this case, circulation will increase above what is normally expected. DCS problems could result both from the on gassing and the formation of nuclei by musculoskeletal activity.
Warm Diver with a Cold Surface Temperature
In this case, the diver will load gas on the bottom and the circulation will be reduced on the surface as the body tries to conserve heat. DCS problems could result.
