Ok,

A few years ago in Gibraltar while diving some of the wrecks there, I jumped off the boat only to feel a sudden and sustained cold rush.

Yep, I had left my dry suit fully open and took on several gallons of chilly winter Atlantic water.

Apparently my buddy had never seen a diver get back to a boat so quickly!, getting up the ladder was a different case thought, I had to de-kit in the water as I was too heavy to climb. Once on board, I was so determined to still dive I "hung" myself upside down to empty the water for a few minuits, got my kit back on, and went in! I was blooding freezing.

I'm older and wiser now, and would probably do it again!.
