Gulf Diving: What mm suit?

[SuPrBuGmAn]

I toss the 3mm and a hoodvest for the 55F water at the bottom of ABWA. 3mm is usually enough for the springs, less there is cold surface temps.

I refuse to buy anything thicker.

A 3 mm works great in January if you have thermos full of hot water to pour down your wet suit..........lol

Wear a shorty - 28 bucks at Academy Sports. If your worried about jellyfish 38 bucks for the full length one piece.

Which Academy Sports?

Lakeshore Drive in B'ham. Look near the wakeboard/ski supplies, they're hanging right next to the Body Glove ones that go for 3 times as much and probably came out of the same factory. I'm sure any Academy stock the same ones. If you can wait till about October they'll proabably be on clearance for 40% off.

A full 3mm suit. It'll protect you from scraps and whatnot. If you get hot, you can always flood it a little. If you plan on doing repetitive dives, you get a little colder than you will just doing one or two in a day. Then again, anything below 80 and I'm diving dry.
