San Clemente is close for Navy training. We're going to Santa Barbara instead.

I always go to the islands DRY. It's never a question in my mind. How much UNDERWEAR I need to wear, that's something to keep in mind. I have the DUI +5 deg vest (I think that's what you call it...). I'll wear that in the winter. Summer, I may take it, but I may not wear it. I also have to remember to adjust my lead to the amount of underwear.

If I'm going to any of the Islands off our coast here, the answer is dry. Always.

thanks debdiver

i find the wetsuit eaiser on liveaboards, so if the water is warm enough i prefer to take it.
i was in 57F water wednesday night, and was toasty in my drysuit, so i think i should be fine in my wetsuit..i did 3 days on the conception in march, and had 50-54 all dives in my wetsuit, so i think i can handle the 62...well i'm 90% sure i can anyway.. if someone had said it was going to be colder than that the drysuit would be going..

I bring both as we do the islands with a live aboard. Dry suit it is every time unless I blow a gasket and then it's back to wet.
