What exposure suit for BVI?

[ridindiver]

Hi, I am moving to the BVI for the summer and have no idea what kind of exposure suit I should bring. I get cold easily. I just bought a 3/2mm with removable sleeves...Do you think this will be sufficient??

Thanks!

I think that would be perfect, btw; I'm jealous.

The 3/2mm will be fine as that is what I've used when there in addition to no suit at all. Enjoy.

3/2 that is all you need, enjoy you summer :14:

I get cold very easily and I've been diving a 5/4 all winter but I just switched to my fat 3 mil and I'm planning to go to my skinny 3/2 here soon. Water temps are currently around 81 and are likely to be 84ish all summer long.

Welcome to the neighborhood!

I also use a 3/2. And I'm extremely jealous. I live in the West and the closest blue water is the Pacific. That's why my avatar shows my D/S

Can you pack me in your suitcase?

I was just in BVI two weeks ago. I wore a 3mm full and it was comfortable. If you are going to be doing multiple dives, a shorter will only be good for the first few days. After the second week you might find yourself getting noticably cold. If you can, stick with a full 3mm.
