How to keep me warm on winter after dive during the next 1-2 dives on 7 Degree Celsius. If I need to piss and if I am with wet suit 7mil, how I need to deal with that, because removing the top part of the suit and putting back it will be terrible experience
7°C is drysuit territory for me. In a wetsuit or a semi-dry I'd use a poncho over me to protect from the wind and dry as soon as I open the zipper. As for re-donning the suit, warm water will help. If you have some nearby or in a Thermos then pour some around the inside of the suit to warm it a little to improve the experience. If you have the time then dry it inside-out but that normally takes a long time.
Most of my dives are in warm to tropical waters (though once I did two dives at 14 degree celsius wearing a 3mm shorty and a 3mm wetsuit one over the other). Now I think about dive spots like Scapa Flow. Do you think I can do them in a 7mm semi-dry plus an ice vest?
You could do Scapa like that, but why? You'd need a load of lead, and would still start to feel the cold. Go drysuit and undersuit so you are toasty and you will love the Flow.
@@ScubaDiverMagazine Hey, thanks for the quick response! Drysuit cost easily twice as much as a decent semi-dry. Even if I rent one, I still had to get the certification - and apart from a handfull of places up north, my heart is lost to coral reefs.
How are you staying warm while diving?
Great video, a better mic would make a world of difference. Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks for the tip

Lol I’m in a 7mm semi dry in water at 29c or 85 degrees and I’m comfortable I get in my dry suit around 70-75 degrees

@@leopoldbloom4835 if you buy a good drysuit you can probably get the course for free on top :)
@@diveinstructordaniel1095 Smart advice! 😁
@@leopoldbloom4835 I did the same. Bought a waterproof D7x and got the course for free 👌
