I purchased new skin to use in the tropical waters in far southeast Mexico. It will be my first tropical experience and will be about 90 miles south of Cancun. They tell me I will be working on the second largest coral reef in the world. I am worried that I bought to much suit as I am used to cold water - take your breath away cold. I will be diving there for between 11 and 20 dives a week for up to 20 weeks.
I purchased a 1 piece 5mm Mares Thermic Evolution. Is this too much suit - because of the quantity if diving I thought a little more thickness is better. Is the coral going to cause major damage to the suit with so much time on site identifying and measuring it.
I have used the suit and love it - it is the easiest suit to put on and take off I've ever used. It is the first one piece suit I have ever used and the best fitting. In that respect I feel very lucky.
Any advice on tropical diving would be appreciated - I am a zoologist and know about the critters - one of the reasons for the purchase is I want maximum protection from the stinging ones. I've never experienced them before and don't want start now.
