I'm posting this in Basic Scuba because I'd rather talk about the who and why of drysuit diving, not necessarily the equipement, however if one of the mods wants to move it, I'll understand that.
Well, I can honestly say that diving that drysuit made me want one. I would, of course, get proper training and practice in familiar situations, etc.
I'll throw this out for you to tear apart. I love diving. I want to dive a lot. My local diving is cold. I'm always cold, in the water and out. I've been suffering through my dives in a semi-wet which is better than a fully-wet suit, but a drysuit would most definitely make my diving much more enjoyable. I have said in the past that I feel slightly task loaded already and as I think you can all appreciate the drysuit does add tasking to a dive. However, when I was in the drysuit, I recognized that I had more going on but due to my increased comfort the tasking seemed manageable on that particular dive. I don't know about anyone else, but when I'm cold my thought processes slow down considerably. On my very next dive I was wet and I was back to having to really think about what I was doing because I was so cold.
Now my question is this: Am I a good candidate for a drysuit?
