How much neoprene did you have for this dive??

I had a Henderson FJ 3 mil so I had 6 mil on the torso. I was chilled a little at first but quickly warmed up. My water temps might be off a little bit due to the older Dacor SPG w/ temp gauge that I have. Water was chilly but not cold. Would have done a 3rd tank, so water temp wasn't a big factor. I will omit any futher water temps until a new temp gauge is purchased. Still saving for the Pro Plus II. (yes?-no?)

I was wearing a 6.5mm semi dry and was comfortable (except for hands, feet and head). My wife was wearing a shorty over a 3mm one piece over a hooded vest and got cold.

Brad since you like Dacor, I have an older but in perfect working condition Dacor Omni computer I'll make you a good deal on. Wrist mount, air only, W/user replaceable battery.

Dont omit the temp. That is a very important part of the dive report, even if it is a few degrees off.

I have a 6.5mil semi dry one-piece that is a little large in the torso and I get cold wearing it in the low 60s.
I am looking to get a vest to fill up the space inside. I am also going to use a hood in Venice.

I'm bringing my yak to venice this weekend, so the semi dry is not gonna work. I'll be in a 5mm one piece w/hood and probably be cold. I may only do one dive!

Why wont the semi dry work yak diving? (I know nothing about yak diving but want to learn)

It's a bit too stiff for paddling, and paddling very far I'd quickly roast.
