until that #*$%@&$! involuntary shivering, and loss of motor coordination got to me. I can ignore all sorts of pain up to torn ligaments and a root canal, but i've been so hypothermic on dives past that my speech had been slurred (how'z that for embarking on a one way trip to the morgue?).
IMHO, its not about avoiding being a wuss, its more about living to dive another day. BTW, anyone out there know of a good local outfit that does drysuit alterations?
