Maybe yours don't get a chance to dry between dives  |
I usually dive salt water, and always warm salt water. I don't EVER want to dive where I need even a 7mm wet suit! I do wear a dive skin under my shorty, but that's only for protection against jellies and hydroids. Once stung, twice shy... The suits do get a good rinse after every dive, but they never do get a chance to dry. We usually make three dives a day at the minimum, and on live-aboards, will do five or six every day. At the end of a trip they get a thorough washing with detergent, then a long soak in "Sink-the-Stink."

A couple of reefies won't bite you too hard!  Although losing your tank is a pain especially as I see it as the best way to blunt a sharky tooth when he comes in for a bite!

I never mind one or two, but when diving in Palau we dropped down into the middle of about 50.
For the most part they just ignore us, but do become a bit aggressive when I try to move in closer for a better photo.
THAT is when I learned that pee doesn't scare away the sharks! I'll stick with the attache case...
