I think that people tend to forget that the Earth is a big place and we aren't all live in the same locations. Diving with a wetsuit is different than diving with a drysuit. Diving with a 3-mil wetsuit is different than diving with a 7-mil wetsuit. Diving with bathing suit is different than diving with 1.5-mil wetsuit. Diving with double and a pony bottle is different than diving single.
We all need to get your gears adjusted and weighed properly first. After that, things get a lot easier for both the diver and rescuer.
Bloody good point. Going from cold water to warm isnt an issue in my book. Going from the tropics to very cold water takes a lot of thinking about and is a much harder dive.
Still I dont think Tasmania and NZ compare to some of you lunatics diving in Canada or Alaska.
