My first post here... hope I'm following protocol.
I'm relatively new to diving, my wife and are now assembling our own gear. I'm wondering what's going to be the ideal thickness wetsuit to buy.
I expect we will typically dive in warm climes, but at different times of of the year so there will still be some fluctuation in water temps. For example, in April we were in Caymans; in Jan 05 we're going to Maui.
My dive shop recommended a ScubaPrio .5mil skin combined with a 3mil shorty;
A dive pro friend suggested we go straight for a Henderson Hyperstretch 5/7 jumpsuit;
I"m wondering if a 3mil jumpsuit/3mil shorty combination wouldn't give us more flexibility, though of course that would be the most expensive solution.
Would love to hear what others have to say on the subject.
Thanks,
