Zeagle Ranger for warm water diving?

[Shadow]

I am planning an extended dive vacation in the tropics (3-4 months - freedom 55!) My husband and I both dive with Zeagle Rangers here in cold water of British Columbia with dry suits and undergarments. We have never used our Rangers in warm water. I am wondering about comfort and performance with a wet suit. Not concerned about luggage. Thanks for any tips.

will be fine, no need to get anything else for that trip. It isn't necessarily ideal, but you'll be fine as long as they fit properly. You can check fit by just putting a t-shirt on and if it fits in a t-shirt, you'll be fine in whatever wetsuit you dive. I'd be surprised if it didn't snug down far enough to fit properly.

It will be just fine. It is one of the best BC's out there.

I see lots of Rangers on warm water dive boats. The divers look happy.

I have dove in warm water with only a rash guard using a Ranger and it was comfortable. I don't think you will have any issues.

yeah, they usually are the really big guys who disappears from the group after 20 minutes, only to see them toweled and all dried when the group come back from the dive.

Or they are really bad at trim and buoyancy since the only thing they have been practicing in their cold water world is hanging on the line and deco'ing.

Actually the last "Ranger" pair I saw was a husband and wife team with big camera rigs. They looked pretty good in the water from what I could tell. I'm sure there were some of the former as well. Rangers aren't a rare sight.

The same frequently applies to divers with big camera rigs.

The statement above is totally untrue.
