For us drysuit divers out there it seemes that the never ending argument tends to be Shell or Neoprene. So what do you use? Along with that if you dive a neoprene suit what is the thickness of the neoprene?
I myself wear an apollo 4mm neoprene suit. My reasoning is rather simple.
1) cost: My suit only cost me $800us VS. over $1000 for a decent shell
2) Fit: I have tried several shell suits and to me they all feel like i was diving with a parachute. My neoprene fits like a glove and dives like a wetsuit.
3) Do not have to wear very much in the way of undergarments. I wear a pair of polar tech fleece pants and a fleece jacket and that is only if the water is below 52F otherwise pair of shorts and long sleeve shirt.
So what is every one else wearing and why?
