nope we was using 5m shorties in cyprus last week at about that temp and was toastie..but i have natural insulation
Should be just fine!!
Maybe not but why would you want to?
Nobody is perfect and taken unawares by a current it's always possible to make contact with the reef.
Having seen somebody suffer the effects of fire coral resurging everytime they made contact with salt water for over three months, and witnessing a micro jellyfish swarm I figure shorties are for the pool.

Depends where you're diving. Temperature wise it should be ok but I got stang off a fire worm in Malta and twas like my leg had been barbequed. Jesus.![]()

I would be happy temperature wise but on a night dive in Egypt in a shorty, following a fish for a photo I found myself surrounded by fire coral, front, behind, left, right. it took a fair bit of focus to get out of there without a scratch. A full length suit and it would not have been such a worry.
I once got the end of my knob stuck in the zip of a shorty too...but thats another storey
how the f**k did you do that the zips in the back![]()

and take the full length
