String:If you want more fatalities then by all means use a 5mm suit. No different to the hordes of student at inland sights currently in 7mm suits physically shaking so much they cant work inflators or clips properly. As the coroner stated, people have died and will continue to die.
If the water is cold enough to need a 2 layer 7mm semi dry its too cold to be diving wet.
Did you actually read my post? i wasn't talking about 'the water cold enough to be needing 2 layer 7mm semi dry' i was talking about mid summer when the water is definetly warm enough to be using a 5mm wet suit. I've diver very comfortably in a 5mm...
As i said if you are needing more than 5mm i agree that a dry suit is the only real option.
1. bouyancy and thermal protection will be majorly affected by depth
2. you will require huge amounts of weight to sink it
etc etc
