64 degrees is not the tropics that comes to mind for anyone I know. Don't know why you feel the need for a personal slam.....I am fine with people that want to use metric...I have never taken any issue with this????

When you regularly dive places with temps in the low 50's/ high 40's, 64 F is the tropics.

It was very nice for a couple weeks not to have my inbox filled with replies to this dead thread....why do we have to give the troll more food?

I see you have still not reponded to my request, I guess you can't. Admittedly I do have limited experience with only 800 plus dives or so but during those dives I cannot think of one instance where I have wanted to go faster, I can think of many dives prior to acquiring a drysuit when I would have liked to have been warmer. Peoples tolerance for the cold varies widely, I am often bemused finding myself sitting next to somebody on a boat complaining of the cold who is in a 5mil or thicker wetsuit complete with hood and gloves while I am feeling quite comfortable in a t-shirt and swim trunks.

i have deleted about 40 of the most recent off topic posts, ranging from fins to group protocols to snarky comments. Please stay on topic or start a new one if it is not. Thank you. Marg, SB Senior moderator
 
I don't get it.
Not all the fins are suitable for dry suit eg. full foot.
So in order to compare the merit of dry vs wet, fins is a good starting point.
