					 Feeling Cold..in the caribbean Feeling Cold..in the caribbean
					
						
							Yeah, I know..seems like an oxymoron doesn't it!
 
 But, I was cold - I did the wreck dive, had an SI on the boat for an hour, then did the second dive.
 
 During the second dive, I felt cold and I mean cold..the water temps (according to my dive comp) said 27C (about 84F) and I was cold, i felt shivery, my finger tips were feeling numb and i came up after 20 minutes.
 
 I wear a 3mil long wetsuit, on the SI, I only pulled it down to my waist and felt fine.
 Another thing that surprised me as well was that the dive leader was wearing a 7mil, plus hood and he said that the water temps are normally cooler from November to february!!! and he said that the water temps are normally cooler from November to february!!!
 
 A friend of mine is coming over and we will be doing the wreck again in 3 weeks time.
 So anyone got any ideas as to what I can/could do so that I don't feel cold when doing the second dive?? - If I wore a shorty over my wetsuit for the second dive - would that be sufficient?
 
 Thanks
