Hello all,
Wife and I are just back from St Thomas, got 5 dives in while there.
One of our two-tank boat dives took place on a day when the water was rather rough, and we encountered a lot of surge. I was holding on to our mooring line during our safety stop and one rather large surge caused me to slide my hand along the mooring line, cutting it on the barnacles attached to the rope. My fingers and palm got hacked up pretty badly.
I'm thinking about buying a pair of lightweight gloves to use on rough days, making it easier to hold on to rope, dive ladders etc.
I'd appreciate any suggestions as to which gloves would work well for my application. I dive primarily in warm water, so warmth isn't really an issue, I'd need the gloves more for protection.
Thanks!
