I'm looking forward to the makers documentary. It sounds interesting if you're interested in surfing at all.

You'd be surprised how warm Irish waters can be in the summer... Anything upto 16 degrees, not cold at all with a wetsuit

Can anyone tell me how to download the film clip (or any clip) from youtube.com onto the hard drive rather than streamed viewing? I can't see how.

Thanks

Im sorry but I totally dont understand that??

I dive during the winter in a 7/3 wetsuit, down as far as 30m, and I don't find it too cold

During the summer I waterski/swim/etc in a 5mm, and in salt water I don't find it cold. Fresh water, however, gets a bit chilly after a few hours
