I'm a Fish!
Im considering a live aboard trip on the Nautilaus Swell...has anyone done a trip on the boat?...also I have a drysuit and undergarmets I use in our local 48 to 50 F water...the water in Alaska goes from 46-48F...

Has anyone got any recommendations on what undergarments should be used? and do you use neoprene there or should I use dry gloves?...

Would love any suggestions..

(and yes i did use the search button before posting..)
 
Have not done this trip but I do dive nearby. I would suggest that you plan for temps to go even below 46. I have seen it as low as 42 at depth here in BC - I would expect Alaska to be colder. Dry gloves will make a big difference particularly on multiple dive days. I dive a Whites Fusion with the Mark II undergarments and wear a thin layer of underwear designed for skiers under that. That would be the minimum - on a three dive day I am cold on the third dive.
