I am planning to buy my first wetsuit soon, and am taking the time to look around. My LDS is an Oceanic dealer, and I found out last night that Oceanic has a 7 MM suit called the Ultra 7.
I am an inexperienced diver compared to the rest of you, and haven't done much diving, but now am back diving.
I live in NW New Jersey. My "home watering hole" will be Dutch Springs in PA. I probably will do 60% of my diving there, 20% in other lakes/quarries between NJ and VA, and 20% on ocean dives between NJ and SC.\
I do not plan on doing "cold water" dives, which to me means diving during the winter. I expect all my diving to be between...say April through October.
I want to buy one wetsuit that will best fit that type and locations of diving.
The last time I dove Dutch Springs, the water temp was 59 at 70 feet. The ocean diving that I would like to do would most likely be less than 100' depth, but I have no idea what the ocean water temps would be at 100' during the summer months. Can anyone answer that one?
My LDS, like I said, is an Oceanic dealer and also sells the Pinnacle brand of wetsuits, which look really nice but I haven't gotten any prices yet.
So I welcome all comments on the Oceanic Ultra 7 and any comments on Pinnacle suits that are at least 5 MM.
Thanks!
