Tie a string around your "parts" so you can pull them back out after the dive.
Or find a warm body to help you coax them out!

I noticed the other day that a number of BSAC clubs run mini-courses for 'vacation divers' who want to try diving in the UK. What advice would people give to divers who are used to warm clear water, but who were contemplating a dive in cold green northern waters?
I have been switching between warm water diving in the Red Sea and cold water diving in Scottish sea lochs I would say the biggest issue for me is the lack of mobility due to the bulk of the kit. Followed by how dark and gloomy it is. I all ways have a flask of something warm to drink between dives and also a nice cosy hat thats the first thing to go on after a dive.
My 2cents. Before you start your dive remove your mask, get the sensation of the cold water rushing into your mask and hitting your face. Also make sure your teeth are in good shape, if they are cold sensitive you'll know it real quick!
