Comical The opinions of another working diver.
This time of year I'm doing 2 or 3 hours a day in the water. Suit is usually a northern diver divemaster, not my preferred choice but its work and i'm not wrecking my good Predator suit for work. The Northern Diver suit is absolute crap and if it wasn't free I would not be using it.
Thermal type stuff is always a thin wicking base layer top, trespass I think. If I'm moving about a lot I use a full set of fourth element arctics and if I'm not then its a thin set of chill cheater stuff with a weezle extreme on top and the fourth element socks. Gloves are whatever is lying about without holes in them or the rubber coated builders gloves.
Sport diving you need a good hood and gloves and keep out of the wind if you can, cheap rubber type waterproofs and get plenty of hot food or soup into you pre and post dive.
