It would be nice to have warm tropic waters, but we really can't complain. Socal water isn't really that cold. In a 7mm and a hooded vest, I can't say I've ever been that cold. Plus dry suits are a pain in the butt, too much work (sometimes), can't just hose them off and hang them up like a wetsuit.
LOL...I think 7mm is a pain in the butt ...but I have not had one of those on since I got certified in 2000 ......I wear a 1mm shorty....the only way to dive

"Blessed are they who learn from their mistakes. For they shall make, if not necessarily fewer of them, different and more interesting ones."
Switching from a wetsuit to a drysuit is like switching from a PC to a Mac, you'll NEVER go back except for tropical of course.

MissyHello, Hello
Hola!
I'm at a place called Vertigo
¿Dónde está?
It's everything I wish I didn't know
Especially the Viking rubberized drysuits which dry off really fast.
Even if they are wet inside they are still warmer than a semidry or wetsuit. Unfortunately SJ you are wrong about the 1mm shortie being the only way to dive. Theres always the bikini. Much more appealling but only if its on a female body.

yeah maybe when I grow old and rich (hopefully) I'll get one, but I'll always still surf in a wetsuit, so why not dive in one too.
