Wet and dry suit?

[tedwhiteva]

A friend of mine was having some trouble with her drysuit leaking. After some goading, she tried wearing a 1 ml instead of undergarments...just to see if it would keep her warmer (since she was getting kind of wet anyways).

After one dive, she switched back to her thermals....said while she was warmer in the leaky spot, the squeeze with the wetsuit compression was not worth it at all. And this was on a shallow dive.

Your friend should

- get the leak fixed in her dry suit
-seak advice on that rather than listening to someone who has never dove a dry suit

It doesn't keep me warm... I use a drysuit with fleece underneath

OK, Smarty Pants.

It keeps you LESS COLD...

I do admit that a 7mm full with a 7mm tunic, at 100fsw in 42 degree water is a tad uncomfortable...
