is it cold up there or what?

[newjack06]

i am trying my hardest to get my wife to agree on a family vacation to vancouver. if i get the thumbs up, can i get away with diving a semi-dry with a 3mm underneath in early aug? im not ready for a dry suit yet.

I wouldn't.

Water temps will be in the low-mid 50's. Even with a double layered 7mm suit (14mm around the torso), most people are very cold after the second dive.

mid 50's is alot warmer than down in chicago in aug. i got 45 degrees on my computer while diving the dredge ship. i had a 7mm farmer i rented. i was fine. hopefully it will be in the low to mid 50's. then again that wasn't the surface temp right?

You will be cold at the end of one dive, but OK. Do two dives with a minimum SI and you will be VERY cold and the second dive will not be any fun at all.
