I wear a 7mm O'Neil one piece when I play, and a 7mm Kettenhofen 3 piece when I work. I've had the O'Neil on down to 52 degrees at ft+ and while I do feel the thermals, I'm still very comfortable. I may try a dry suit someday, but for now, I'm all wet......you know what I mean.
On the Side, the Conditions are great right now and I'm figuring on a Santa Barbara Island trip the last week of April to photo some Sea-lions. I usually take the "Sand Dollar" out of San Pedro. Always a good time.

But hey, I'm a little nuts.
Hey, Missy... does that mean you won't be my dive buddy on those dives. Darn, I was hoping.
I'm not sure we'd both fit in a bathtub with our dive gear on Dr B... A jacuzzi maybe.... :cool:Quote:

Welcome King Arthur! Have you found the Holy Grail yet? ;)

So, all joking aside. . . why do we dive drysuits? Because this is So Cal and we are hardcore. . .hoo rah!
We dive cold, we dive deep, and with those monstrous steel double 130s on my back holding mad air. . . we dive long.
Missy, Farnsworth clocked 41 freeze grees at 130 fsw. . .
THAT is why y'all need to start hoarding your foodstamps for your drysuit.
And again seriously, tell us what we can do to help you navigate the maze of drysuit purchase. . . . it is mired in fleecability.
Guess I love iDiveChic also, so I will be traipsing around these parts a LOT more.
Happy Saturday all,
Tevis
