Hi,
I'm searching for a wetsuit option for diving in cold water (60F). I am pretty comfortable with 5mm, a lavacore vest and a hoodie in 75F water.
Would it keep me warm if I layer a 5mm wetsuit + lavecore vest with a 5mm shorty oversuit? I saw pinnacle escape 5mm short sleeve shorty. It has full zip making me think it is easy to put on and off. I am not sure how much warmth it provides.
Another option would be buying a 7mm wetsuit and layer it with the lavacore vest.
Which option would be warmer and/or easier to put On? Are there other things to consider?
Thanks!
I might have not been clear. I already have a 5 mm wetsuit and a lavacore vest/hoodie. I am seeking for opnions to decide to buy either 5 mm shorty (as a layer) or 7 mm wetsuit to prepare the coldest dive spot in Galapagos Aug - Dec.
