35 degrees at 90'. My suit lost a lot of it's insulating properties at that depth.
Ouch! Yep, I'd say a 7mm wouldn't cut it at that temp. I'm getting chilled just thinking about it.

I live in the city and have been to Haigh Quarry, Pearl Lake, and some wreck diving out of Milwaukee. If you are interested in wreck diving, I hear there are some great books by Chris Kohl.
I was certified this summer and have been using Scubaboard to find buddies. I have met up with some great people from this website.
Happy diving.
I dove the Willy with Jerry Guyer last summer, and nothing was said about needing a pony rig. Is thiat like a cold weather thing?

Hantzu701 and I made e-mail acquaintances on this board last week and this morning we dove Haigh. Hantzu701 has a shiny new Whites Nexus Shell suit and I had a 3 mil + 7 mil contraption. I was really psyched to "tough" out the cold, but to my amazement I had no trouble with the water temp. I even had my cooler of hot water for the suit preheat and I didnt need it (warm water surface interval was nice though for the feet). All in all I met a very good dive buddy in Hantzu and had a great time. To tell you the truth I would be back tomorrow in a heartbeat, only six- eight divers all day and two very enjoyable dives.
