I hereby acknowledge that I know bugger all about much to do with diving,

But,

Before I got into diving I was a keen mountaineer, so being cold is a bit of a mainstay between the two sports.

Working on the layering principle in regards to neoprene vs membrane, I reckon you can make an undergarment thats as warm as these posh diving suits that would fit in a neoprene suit. Im going to try the uncle jesse style silk longjohns (possibly with a fleece type thermal trouser, various layers of thermal silk tops and a couple of dammed fine pairs of walking socks. All of which should fit as it fits under my down and gortex climbing suits.

Surely all that under thick neoprene will insulate as well as a undergarment suit but without the huge padded size???

We live in hope anyway or im going to be bloody cold diving at christmas!!!!!!!!!
