For me it's a drysuit. If it's *really* warm I'll take a chance and leave my hood on the boat...

Time before last I was wearing a 5.5mm full semi and a base layer and I was still cold (as in shivering) around the half hour mark.

The next time I went I took a drysuit and I was just about right.

That's no fun though. Part of the glory of warmwater diving is leaving all that stuff behind and jumping in with swimmies and bootees

5mm or 3mm?
Normally have holidays May/June and August/September and perfer to dive in a 3mm shortie, only time I've gone thicker is in Egypt in February; what I forgot to take was my ski jacket and gloves to be worn after the dive as it was a little 'chilly' and the wind seemed to whip around the ears!

So my Q is? Will my 3mm shortie be ok or should I take my 5mm full?

Look forward to hearing from anyone going on the same trip and from those of you who can advise on the 'chill factor'
Thanx

Lovely trip report...... a good read!
