European rec diver here

[Nicx]

Hi all,
I'm doing mostly tropical diving in SE Asia, although I maintain a full set of diving in cold water (that always seems too cold even with my 7+7mm Mares wetsuit).
I love looking at things both small and big, however, I'm mostly looking forward to improving my macro photo skills.

What 7+7mm do you use? Did a little winter dive last week in a regular 7mm (4°C water) and it got pretty cold.

It's quite old and looks like this: Neopren vel. 6 - BAZAR.
Cold water for me means 10-15 deg c. Never been in the water before mid May so I can't even imagine what 4 deg would feel like in a wetsuit..

Haha. I switch to drysuit for water temperatures below 20oC and for local standards, I am considered quite cold tolerant.

Ha, cold water for us in our part of the Philippines is 26C. We are getting down towards that now and it's Baltic))
