Hot feet

[masonak1298]

I have a question about boots and my wetsuit. I just bought a 3 mm wetsuit and all I have is 7mm boots. My question is should I buy different boots or will mine work with the 3 mm suit?

They will work, but why carry all that extra buoyancy? You may well need ring weights for your ankles to maintain horizontal trim.

They'll work nicely.

I always use 7mm boots when diving in a wetsuit abroad.

You can never be too warm.

7mm thats fine. you wont notice the 4mm diffrence and the $$ you will save,

I've got 7mm 'arctic' something booties, and use 'em with everything from a swimsuit to my 2X7mm john and jacket. No problem.

I never notice the extra insulation.

Good question. I've never thought of this. I used 7mm booties in the tropics with a 3mm shorty and did not notice a difference in temperature or trim. Go for it!

Use your boots....when my feet get cold, it's time to go home.

Enjoy the warm feet... but buying more gear is also fun.

feet warm mean comfy diving....nothing like cold feet to ruin a dive...

Ankle RING weights....a myth in itself...

enjoy

No one has ever died scuba diving because their feet were to warm!!
