It was a relief to see it wasn't. Walking toward the bathroom, Sandy came across a large sign and called me over to look. It was a large undersea map of Whaler's Cove. We both looked at it and decided for the first dive we'd go out to the middle where a reef was indicated. The water leaked through the hole on my last dive and my foot went numb.
Socks seem to prevent the numbness quite well.
Sweat poured down my face as I helped her. Wet suits are made to be skin tight so that only a minute layer of water stays between a diver's body and the suit. The diver's body is then able to heat the small amount of water, keeping a diver relatively warm in the cold water found along the Pacific Coast. A problem arises when one wears this suit outside the water. The wet suit is insulated with three-eights inch neoprene so it can get uncomfortably hot.
