And at the contact of your skin is getting to body temperature.

And so for a while you can, you know, dive like that.

And in the ocean here, that's fine.

That's fine.

The dry suit is the opposite.

It's completely closed, which means that you don't have any contact with the water outside and you keep your warmth.

through your body temperature, and even clothing that you can put into it.

So these dry suits, they are used by divers who go really deep in very cold water and need to stay a long time underwater.

The bad part is that when you have those dry suits on,

you have a lot of air that can be trapped in it.

Usually we do what we call burping the suit.

It's not very pleasant expression, but you get in the water and as soon as you get in the water, you can see the air pockets all over the place, right?

So you burp the suit, you open the valve and the air comes out.

Once you have done that, then you look with your lead belt and you know when you're ready to go down.

And so what happened that day,

is that I actually did burp the suit, but didn't realize I burped it completely.

And so I went down and

And immediately I felt an air pocket going to my legs.

So basically air was trapped in the suit and went on my legs as I was diving like that.

And so I didn't pay too much attention to that.
