Thermals for diving in warmish water in a drysuit

[KenGordon]

i am going to the Canaries, it will be 18 to 20 degrees Celsius (64 -68 Fahrenheit)

Ideally I would have brought a 7mm but I have only a trilam drysuit and a 5mm so I’ll have to bring the drysuit.

I only have thermals for cold water, what should I wear for these temperatures under my drysuit.

Edit: mentioned that my drysuit is trilam

I am going to Tenerife next week. I am taking my regular crushed neo suit and Fourth Element Artics as they worked ok in similar Red Sea January temperatures.

That IS “cold water.” Well, maybe “temperate.” The Florida springs are 70-72F, and a 200g undergarment is pretty standard for hour-long dives.

Maybe I ll do the same, I used actually Arctic in 5 degree C water for a 35min dive. I thought it would be too warm but maybe it’s ok for higher temps as well ?

So something like this ?

I have a lava core shirt and pants that I usually wear under my drysuit in that temperature range. If I am doing several dives I also will wear some poly-fleece long johns under the lava core.

Hi
For travelling to these 18-19C water, just buy a cheap top fleece sweater or jacket and that way you can use it on the plane or anytime you are a bit cold above water
