My hair is long enough in back to use a ponytail. And toward the end of a week of diving, I switch to a beanie to avoid too much heat loss

If you consider Florida the tropics, I wear a hood here In south florida, I'll wear a thin one!Brinybay, I'm not planning on doing any diving in the PNW for quite some time (or maybe ever ) so while I know I'd need a hood here, I'm curious as to what people do in the tropics.

:dltears: This is so sad to hear. I was looking forward to showing you some great sites around Seattle or Hood Canal.I'm not planning on doing any diving in the PNW for quite some time (or maybe ever ) so while I know I'd need a hood here, I'm curious as to what people do in the tropics.

But I must say, chilly-willy water and air temps is quite the deterrent. (Yes, I know, I'm not even a diver yet and already I'm a warm water wuss. )

Where/When are you certing in FL??No worries, ladies, if my certification goes well in Florida, I just may do drysuit training after all!

Well, if you can afford it, more power to you, but you'll be missing out on some great underwater adventures, well worth putting up with the less-than-tropical conditions. One of the best dives I had was on your side of the border with a foot of snow on the ground, in a wet suit.No worries, ladies, if my certification goes well in Florida, I just may do drysuit training after all!

can you explain this a bit further?(I found it awkward to fiddle with my mask strap while wearing a cap.)

The beanie I have is 1mm neoprene with a chin strap...so when I dive with it, I have to let my mask strap out a bit...also, get a slap strap for your mask...it makes donning the mask easier and alot less hair pulling tooI'll have to find a pic of one these beanies. If they're similar to a swim cap, I may have a problem. (I found it awkward to fiddle with my mask strap while wearing a cap.)

I found my cap would shift around alot if I wasn't careful when repositioning the strap. As well, the strap had a tendency to *stick* to the cap making repositioning awkward.can you explain this a bit further?(I found it awkward to fiddle with my mask strap while wearing a cap.)
I like this chin strap idea, Kim. (My swim caps don't have straps.)

More than a few of us put the mask strap UNDER the beanie or hood...I found my cap would shift around alot if I wasn't careful when repositioning the strap.
