I've seen people diving with beanies instead of a hood........

I got one that I wore a couple times and hated it....

i think they're the dorkiest looking things. but i have one, for when i dont want too much water flowing into my ears - not sure if it helps much but i haven't had an ear infection yet (fingers crossed).

i dont actually remember where they came from but it was this dive shop that ordered them for us.

They make me all claustrophobic.

I got my beanie at my LDS. Check with yours. I'll bet they can get you one.

Leisurepro has them. They don't call them beanies. THey call them tropical hoods.

You could take an Aggressor Fleet vacation and drop $70 on a beanie with brightly colored horns on top.

Yes I look dorkie with it but I'm too old to give a hoot about looks anymore.

I've found that silly beanie does keep me warmer.

during the surface interval to keep my bald spot from burning.

Sunscreen in now on my dive bag checklist.

LP carries them and most lds's stock them. they are also called tropical hoods. I havent seen one over 3 mm so they are not for extreme cold.

Voila...

anyone who carries o'neil can order you their beanie if they don't stock it. works great, is comfy and you don't look any weirder than a frogfish.
