Tropical DUI Wetsuit Questions

[cbrussell]

I have a few questions for those using the DUI Tropical drysuit for diving in warm waters, say 80 - 85+ degree water. Whatt under garments do you wear or are necessary for warm tropical waters? I am concerned that pulling on a light polartec under garment will result in excessive sweating. I was hoping just a pair of swim trunks and an Undr armour type shirt would be enough. How much additional weight do you need to add vs a 2mm neoprene wetsuit? Does the tropical dry suit require more or less weight than diving with a normal tropical wet suit?
Thanks

Drysuits require more weight. Not sure why you want to dive dry in 80F water.

Trunks and an under armor shirt works fine. In fact it likely is perfect without the drysuit! You could wear a t-shirt and swim suit or shorts. You could wear nothing under the suit but you would get stinky quickly. I wear socks as you feet will stick to the booties assuming you have booties.

I have no clue what weight to use. Do a weight check. Add 5lbs for the tank unless you are using steel.
