Abnormally Cold Vacation diver in Cali

[undrwater]

If you're on the budget, buy dual use undergarments that you can use elsewhere. Pretty much anything that is tight athleisure will work in Cali. You're not diving 30F waters.

$800 is $300-350 more than a solid 7mm wetsuit that will last and keep you warm, not an Amazon Belize vacation special. If it were me, I'd save up.

It's a tough decision, and I was there once. I was only getting 20 minutes dives in before I was very uncomfortable cold. Over the following 3 years I spent a total of approximately ~$1000 on 3 drysuits. Learned quite a bit. I eventually bought a Neosport farmer john 7mm wetsuit, which also keeps me decently warm, though I use it infrequently to keep it "puffed up".

There are deals on used suits. Ebay has a large drysuit with only five dives on it for $650 and a DUI undergarment for $79.
