Red Sea Undersuit?
I'm planning on taking my Polar Bears Explorer to the Red Sea in the new year rather than putting up with the usual pre/post-dive discomfort.
I wear Helly Hanson Lifa & Xerotherm Arctics in the UK.
What do you recommend I wear out there?

I wore a lifa top and a pair of ron hills under a Protec Explorer on the MV Tala in the middle of November if that helps a little.

Son, you're going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming aircrew. You can't do both.

The aircraft limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular aircraft. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no limits.

How much weight did you need & what kg difference was it between your usual undersuit?

Cheers,

Darren

Normally dive a membrane suit with "Artics" underneath... 7kg in fresh water...

In red sea with ronhills and a t-shirt - I used 12kg (with 12L ally tank).
