Question on Dry Gloves

[Mo2vation]

I'm in SoCal. I dive dry gloves year around. 49 degree water. 55 degree water. 66 degree water. I just change out the liner or don't wear one at all.

I can't conceive of the reason someone would dive a dry suit with wet hands. Dry gloves are warmer, offer better dexterity than wet gloves, offer a higher degree of safety, and are, well, dryer and warmer.

Did I mention they're more comfy, too?

Heck - why not just add ankle seals and dive with wet feet? I don't get the dry suit / wet hands thing. Hundreds and hundreds of dives through all conditions in dry gloves.

I'll never go back to diving wet hands again.

Not a problem with my ahem "dry" suit

Thanks... haven't had the drysuit long. Pretty hard to find a buddy to dive when it's this cold in Minnesota, but it would be fun.
