My experienced is limited to the training and certification dives plus maybe two or three others. I live off Long Island Sound and would like to get a little more experience.
I am a sailor and my goal is to be able to do do work on boats, retrieve mooring anchors etc. In short all very shallow work.
For my open-water certification dive I had to buy a 7 mm wet-suit as the dive was in April in Connecticut. It was very cold.
The water when I would usually dive would be about 70 degrees which it is now.
I was thinking that it would make sense to buy a 3 mm suit.
Am I right in guessing that the 3 mm suit would be warm enough, a lot easier to put on, more comfortable feeling in the water and would require less weight.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but since I'm not sure I figured I should ask.
