Interesting. In cold water (13-14 deg) I tend not to shiver on my dives, actually I don't really shiver on the surface either, but if I do it stops in the dive. When i'm cold and shivering I tense up, and if I kind of relax it seems to release that cold tension and stops the shivering.

Yet in the pool for statics (and sometimes dynamic) I will shiver if I feel cold, though relatively we're talking 23-25 deg which is a lot warmer than the quarry. In my static at the Worlds this year the pool was a little colder than I was used to. My warm up statics were ok but in my comp static I started shivering after about 3 minutes (contractions at around 3-3:30), which continued right up until the end, so assumably through my dive response.

Cheers,
Ben
