Towels

[Cichlid]

What kind of towels do you guys bring on dives? Beach towels? Anybody use these?

A small hand towel, if anything. Just enough to wipe the face.

I use a regular towel. I've used those types of towels in the past while hiking but never diving or swimming.

i never bring a towel... i'm dried off before the boat gets back

I'm just not that excited about towels, unless they're for my car. Only microfiber towels for the car. For diving, I never remember to bring one.

Now that is the most complicated eBay ad I've ever seen. They really want to sell you this towel. I agree with the dome, howeve. If I do remember, it's a random beach towel. Now if I could find one with a pinup on it.

I bring a plain beach towel. I've considered those microfibre (???) towels but I like my big one.

On the boat dives I've done, I haven't brought a towel... I like being wet during surface intervals to keep my cool in the heat, and by the time we get back to the dock after diving I'm dry. However, I just use a regular towel when diving springs.

I don't.
I believe they are an entanglement hazrd and they increase drag. Very difficult to stow.
I do however keep a bath towel in my dry bag back on the boat.

That was funny.
