Is it good for diving in water during the winter where outside temperatures reach 5 degrees celcius ?


Water temperature reached 5 or Air Temperature???

I have dove mine to as low as 35 degrees (1.7 degrees). These are short dives and very cold but I have done around 6 dives locally where the water was around 2....and my comfort limit for a second dive used to be 45 (7 degrees).....Comfort is entirely a subjective thing though.

This suit is on the right and as you know....the air has to be colder than 5 degrees for snow to stay on the ground...

The suit is very warm and I've personally dove it in 40 degree water and it was fine, I was a bit chilled but the dive was ok regardless. And scuba steve, you are a brave man.

Anyway, he's dove it in colder water than I and he still vouches for it.
