HI
I have been diving for just over 1 year. So far my dives have been split between Lake Tahoe and the Carrib.
In Feb we are headed to the S. Carrib. and I am unsure how to dress. In the past, I've used my shortie and it has been a little cold,,, not too bad, but I could stand to be a little warmer.
My question is:
Does a dive skin buy you much as far as warmth?
How about .5 VS. 1 mil. I am wondering if a .5 would fit under a wet suit when I dive cold water.
I've also seen the Henderson Poly(something) and it looks like it would be a nice light suit.
I really don't think that I would need anything as thick as a 3.
I would appreciate any thoughts.
