![]() I would say diver since he has some type of cloth to dry himself. I have seen that many times with divers.
I wonder why they do that. I have seen them use another material as well. I would guess the diver is either from the Mediterranean countries (spain, italy, greece) or maybe south america...brazil? |

![]() No luck so far but I am tempted to suggest that Erik has seen him (if Germany is a correct guess) when watching tv - and was obviously impressed (via STS).
The small absorbent cloth will often be seen in the hands of divers as quick dispersal of water droplets from the body is simply required as distinct from a full towelling-down as is usual in the changing room (TD will often be seen throwing his down from the platform after use).

All to do with body temperature - water conducts away heat and muscles should not stiffen with cold between dives. Same reason for the adjacent warm-tub immersion. The little towel is a shammy - synthetic material now but the word comes from the skin of the Chamois (my chamois leather is good for drying off the car to a smear-free finish after washing) Last edited by Byron : 12-22-2013 at 03:44 AM. |
