Sorry, no can do. I've got a raging sinus infection. How cold will it be by the way?
You have my sympathies chrpai! I had a raging sinus infection before Christmas; the worst I have ever had.

This past Sunday the water was 55º at 25 feet. Beast and Jose were toasty in their drysuits.

Tad on the chilly side for me, but..... We get to play with fire, right?
Plan to come out mid day.

55 degrees, that warm water!! I just recently moved down here from S.W. Missouri and the water got a heck of a lot colder up there.
But, I can't say anything for this year, we are going to the silo a nice warm 60 some odd degrees

Sounds like 3mil territory to me.
Actually its funny. When I first moved here I visited a dive shop on Westheimer. A well meaning, young dive master started asking me about my diving. When he found out that I dove in a 3mil (2pc 3mil with .5mil skin, 7mil hood, 7mil gloves, 7mil boots) in 55F water he started lecturing me about how unsafe it was.
Personally I can do 2 40minute dives and then I get cold. But I just like the feel of the bouyancy with a 3mil so much more then the 7mil.
Maybe one day I'll be allowed to get a dry suit and then it wont matter.

Ok... I think it boils down to personal comfort.
I have done lots of diving in low 50's/high 40's water and been in a 5mm with a 7mm hood and 3mm gloves and was just fine, with other people there telling me I was stupid for doing it.
