Howdy pards,

Well I got my Nikonos and jumped in the neighbor's trout pond to try it out wearing my 2.1mm shorty and skin - guess you get the pic - bone chilled. So it looks like someting more will be required if I hope to crawl around in our trout streams - temps around 60 degrees trying to photo the wily trout.
Suggestions please!
 
Get a 7mm full suit with hood and gloves.
 
diving in fresh water,with 60 degree temperatures, get a 4/5 mm with hood.. wearing a full 7mm will require more weight, and diving a hooded 4/5 will be more comfortable, regrding weight belt issues, and flexibility. You may not even need the hood, but it'll keep u warm, as well everyone knows you lose the most head from the area of your head.. Enjoy filming..
