I did finde a bare that looked good it's probably gonna be other a bare revel or a bare velocity. Any experience with those?
I had the Velocity and my wife still does. Great suit. I would buy another without issue.
No experience with the Revel. Looks like a decent option though.
 
Something like this,

give it away when you are done with it.
 
Personally…get a 5mm.
You can always flush it if you’re hot. Which is unlikely. And you can use it in colder water. If you travel a 3mm is kind of a waste. Imo.
 
And yet one more vote for the Bare Velocity. The Bare replaced a Henderson Thermoprene which totally turned to sh!t and fell apart in 9 months.
 
Be careful with a 3mm, if you get cold it's miserable. In a thicker suit you can always flush with cool water. Only you know your temperature tolerance. On multiple dives over multiple days you can start to feel it quite acutely. Personally I wear a 5mm in all tropical locations but I do feel the cold. A hood can make quite a bit of difference if you start to feel it after a day or so.

Good luck, hope you have a blast.

It's unfortunate how much more a good 5mm costs now days.
