Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out what type of wetsuit combination to buy. I will be diving in the South (Carribean mostly) as well as in Canada in summer months (water temp down to lower 60's F where I dive), I've been renting 7 mm full suits + core warmer and that was very warm.
I'm thinking of buying a 5 mm fullsuit (scubapro everflex or pinnacle merino elastiprene, any other suggestions?) with either a hooded vest or a jacket/shorty core warmer (5 mm) for Canada.
Which would you recommend?
Thanks!
 
I would recommend a 5mm full suit and a 3mm or 5mm hooded vest. Don't forget about proper gloves and boots, as they will make the difference between a warm dive, and a miserable one. Happy diving!
