I'm a Florida warm, water, weenie. Never dove in water below 65 degrees. But I'm now contemplating a move to the colder climes of California. Fine and good, I'll suck it up and spend 2k on a DUI. However, one of my great joys is diving with my son, 13. I've been more than willing to bear the expense of new wetsuit(s) and fins on a regular basis--but drysuits? I know some will say a 7mm should work fine but my kid was raised in 80 degree water. What do those of you diving in cold water with kids do? Are there particular (i.e., cheaper) drysuits that work well for kids? Are there any that will give bit of growing room without creating huge amounts of shifting air? Any thoughts are much appreciated.
