The divers get warm water pumped down to their suits via a tube, from what I hear it actually isn't that bad down there and they stay relatively warm.

The same months you're likely to "cough-up" an Oyster are the same ones they dredge for them.

Some use dry suits.

You really shouldn't pee yourselves even under water. Not a good habit to get into.

I think you need to go back and read the rest of the thread, the old R rule no longer applies.
