To diverge from the surfing for a short bit, here is a picture of me getting ready to dive up at Thule Greenland. We were 700 miles north of the Arctic Circle, but still another 900 miles south of the North Pole. Yes it was cold. Yes there were icebergs. No polar bears.
We used hot water suits that pumped 110 degree water through tubes - but anytime your hose kinked, you knew it in a few seconds - any exposed skin, like your neck or parts of your hands felt like it was being slapped and pinched at the same time.
Typical Navy dive other than that (can't see anything and there is nothing but mud and junk all around).
HOO-YAH DEEP SEA!!!
