Hi all,
I'm looking for the warmest wetsuit (7mm, possibly thicker) available.
I live in San Diego, CA, and although the waters here aren't too chilly relative to the other places in the world, it's still too cold for me to scuba dive comfortably with the 7mm wetsuits that I rent. I'm 5'3" and 115 lbs. I think the problem is that I'm really skinny and I basically have no body fat for insulation.
I've been looking around and I've read about the Pinnacle Merino wool-lined wetsuits and the Picasso suits (are freediving suits any different from scuba diving suits?), but I haven't had a chance to try any at depth yet.
Given my size, it's also pretty tough for me to find wetsuits that fit.
I've considered drysuits, but I don't have the money to invest in one.
Does anybody have any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.
