I'm just curious what most of you guys wear for summer & winter diving in the ocean?
And what about summer & winter diving in the springs?
I live in Florida, and when I dive in the summer, even a skin is too much. I'd prefer to just dive with no skin. I'll go down with two HP 130s for an hour each dive and I'm still a little hot after the second dive - even with the wind from the boat blowing on me as we go back to port.
I will also mention that I got a Henderson Gold Core 3mm vest. I thought the Gold Core was a bunch of BS, but I found that it sticks to your body much better and seems to keep me warmer. Has anyone had any experience with the Gold Core 3mm or 5mm wetsuits? I'm going to be doing some spring diving this fall and winter, and I'm wondering whether I should get a 5mm Gold Core, or just put on my 3mm Gold Core vest and then my 3mm Bare full wetsuit over that.
