I was faffing about whether to get the £40 hydrotech drygloves or the 3 finf
gered mitts that John Gulliver was talking about.

Is there another way to keep your hands warm - particularly for that second dive ??

Answer is a flask of hot water - pour into gloves before dive 2 and watch how warm your hands are during the second dive (of course - empty the water out just before donning the gloves)

OK - so no good for mega deco diving but worked a treat for me (Use it on hood too)

Its an old one but it works - any other handy tips out there

<font color='#000080'>If you havent got too much water, share it around. Pour it from your gloves into your buddies. After a dive on the farnes my hands were that cold my fingers were painfull (and when you are cox that can be a major bummer), one of the lads sacrificed the last bit of his hot ribena for me (awww). I had purple hands for a week.

I got ribbed for doing this on the Jean Elaine, untill i offered people the water and then everyone was doing it!
