I've always been a stickler for at least a couple of warm up dives - reasons being 1) gives the body a chance to get used to being in the water and for reflexes to kick in 2) gives me a chance to calm down and get head in right place and 3) working down gradually should help prevent lung squeeze.... at least that's what I've always worked on..
then... diving in mid winter in the UK, I see my SaltFree colleagues get away with warming up totally dry and then making one dive to some pretty significant depth with no apparent consequences... I'm fairly sure that if I did that my lungs would be bleeding all over the place - if I made it...
anyone got a view on this?
