Wet suits help to shield the skin from various stinging organisms underwater, and it also assists in slowing the amount of heat lost by the body underwater by providing an insulation to help aid in avoiding hypothermia they do not stop hypothermia but of course there are various symptoms such as 'shivering' underwater that should warn you to get out of the water and seek warmth. Wet suits are buoyant, but you only really notice its buoyancy when descending that is why you use lead weight belts to help counteract this buoyancy. Although there is a very fine margin of numbers relating to its bouyancy above water, it is not enough to keep a diver's head above waves, and/or allow them to comfortably swim from Exuma to Nassau for 24 hours. In an emergency divers are told to drop their weight belts, and manually inflate the BCD as a temporary flotation device to keep the head above water despite the weight of the tank and other gear. So like I said above 'a BCD is worn, to help control positive buoyancy above water and neutral buoyancy whilst under water.' This is not my personal 'logic' this is an industry standard 'logic', all certified divers should know.
I dont care what wet suit you have on, a dry suit will keep you more afloat above water than any wet suit. A wet suit itself alters negative buoyancy when descending, that is why a weight belt is needed. As far as being above the water and trying to swim, the wet suit itself, provides no life saving form of flotation, that is why a BCD is worn, to help control positive buoyancy above water and neutral buoyancy whilst under water.
Mr. Lloyd sounds very dumb and ignorant when he said the wet suits acted like life vests. Wet suits are not enough to keep you afloat, especially when swimming from Exuma to NP. Maybe it was the BCD's that acted like life vests to help keep them afloat and above waves which are entirely different from wet suits. Although they might have had on wet suits that is recommended when diving, the BCD vests that is used to support SCUBA gear is manually inflatable and can be used as temporary life vests even though it is mainly designed for keeping a divers head above water despite heavy gear and maintaining neutral buoyancy whilst under water.
He is not celebrating anything. This march will be important because it will show that people actually do have a voice. Simply covering things up or not carrying out law because of the way another country is run is simply ridiculous. Are we really independent? The privy council seems to have more power than the prime minister himself.
Signs will deter along with association of traffic tickets etc. Simply the use of 'selective enforcement' here is outrageous. They even have a group of officers called the 'selective enforcement team'. Ticket everybody for speeding, without the care of who they are.
Maybe the investment on the amount of visible and better placement of speed limit signs need to be placed up on these roads that seem to encourage speed. We cannot forget that we need to assign more 'mobile' officers to focus on speed everyday in strategic areas to help enforce this awareness. Simply putting out warnings after tragic accidents is not enough. To fix the big things, you have to fix the small ones.

Of course something bad has to happen before they even think to check. That is the nature of our various implementations.
