It is getting cooler here, but I am not ready to hang up my booties for the winter just yet. Was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on staying warm during the surface interval. I will be diving wet as the dry suit is a long way from reach in the budget right now.
Water temps will be 60-70's and the air will be windy and in the 50-60's. I have a canopy with side walls that I am going to put up, a big terry bath robe, flannel pants and booties, several changes of stocking hats and gloves, a coleman stove to make hot tea, coffee, chocolate and so forth, and a blanket. Have I forgotten anything? Just got certified this spring, so this is my first chilly dive.
For my exposure in the water, I have a 7mil suit, reef gloves and a 5/3 henderson hood
Thanks for the advice and if anyone wants to join me in South Carolina, the details are on this link http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=162248
Thanks,
