I looked hard for this info before posting, so please forgive me if I missed this topic.
I am too fat for my 7mm wetsuit. I was pretty skinny when I bought it (too skinny acording to my wife) and am a 10 pounds overweight now. It is for sale on E-bay as I write. The question is: Do I look for another 2 piece 7 mm wetsuit, or do I make the just to dry diving figuring if I need that much wetsuit, dry might be more comfortable?
Surface water temps here in the Ozarks lakes can be in the 70s in the summer, but in the 50s below the thermocline. So when it is real warm the 3 mm wetsuit is fine if I stay shallow and freezing under the thermocline. The quarry near my house is 50s below the thermocline also.
Find a drysuit, or get a 7mm wetsuit that fits me better than the old one? How about the semi-dry suits?
Thanks a ton,
Don
