We are new to cold water diving and were at Hood Canal in Washington State yesterday diving with wet suits. We're getting a little cold after about 30 minutes and are really thinking of going with dry suits.
While BSing with other divers yeterday, we got a feeling of strong preference towards crushed neoprene dry suits over shells. The argumernts were that the squeeze didn't pinch as much, air distributed through the suit easier, and of course lower cost.
As we're on a limited budget, cost does play a large part in our decision making, though we're not going to scrimp and be uncomfortable.
I hope I'm not repeating a question from earlier on the board and would welcome any constructive comments.
