Hey again Dan-

Good questions.

(1) What about chafing from the BC & weightbelt?

I had integrated weights (Dacor Rig), but as any of us know who have
used a conventional weightbelt on bare skin, it does chaffe.I suspect
it would have been annoying.  I never tried it with a weightbelt.

The BC itself offered comfort even on bare skin. It has a paddded
velcro cumberbund which offered a good secure fit but no irratation.
No problems in 15 or so dives..

(2) Did any nudists dive with a wetsuit just to stay warm?

YES! in fact no one else did any boat-diving (60-100') nude, and most
wore wetsuits, even though at 80' I think it was still over 80 degree
water (F). The only day I got chilled was when I did 4 dives, and the
4th got cold at the end (even at 15'!). I think that was my limit for
non-wetsuit diving, since each of the dives that day were over an
hour.

Many went nude for the more shallow shore-dives however, some just to
try it once, others again and again.

Two other comments on nude-diving: (a) Makes bouancy control a breeze,
and (b) you tend to stay an extra foot or two off the reef! Oh yes and
those eels look even MORE threatening and hungry!

Cheers.
