Hi There-
I'm curious how folks handle the decision about the warmth of your suit vs how much weight you need. We're heading to Cocoview in Roatan at the end of May. I typically dive in a 5 mm suit because I tend to get cold at depth. However, that means 22 lbs of weights. Not a huge deal for boat dives but for shore dives it means I'm walking out with almost 70 1bs on my back (weights + tank + BC).
So how do you deal with the weight vs warmth issue? Does anyone but me have trouble carrying all of that?
