This will be my first cold water dive. I only have a 5mil suit. Will that be enough?

Can you stuff a 3mil under it?

Any idea what the water temps are now?

I'm sure you can rent a 7mil from somewhere......

Just call them night dives.....

Water temps are in the high 50s, I believe.

Depends on your temperament. If you had a hood or a hooded vest you would be better off.

So after a couple of dives in those temps 68 should feel like bath water

I'll get me a hooded vest or a 3 mil shorty and a hood. Excuse to buy one from summer time.

My dive log from last year says mid-feb was between 57-61 degrees... so expect around that for these dives... I was diving 7mm + hood and it was fine last year.
