Hot tub is a different story. Water there is warmer than your body temp. That defintely gives you a nice heating. I never denied that.
I was talking about putting hot water in your wetsuit. It gets colder than your body pretty quick. Vasoconstriction is smaller, but on the other hand temperature gradient is also smaller so we may argue if you actually loose heat faster or slower in that situation. I buy the explanation I wrote, because I perceive that I'm getting colder after something like that. So whatever works for you, works for you.
