Yesterday, I dove in the 'local' (1 hr away) lake for the first time, and much to my suprise, I loved it. Unfortunatly, I had to stay above the ~40ft thermocline. So, I want to get some new thermal protection.
Here's a little about my heating requirements: In 82 degree carribean water, I wear a 3mm full Hyperstretch with a 3mm Gold Core corewarmer underneath. Obviously, I get cold easily.
I would like to get a trilam drysuit, but that's way out of the price range considering I'd also like to get a wing, some tanks, etc in the near future. So, I did a little research and it seems like lots of people use Mares' Isotherm semi-dry suit. It seems like this would be a good suit for me.
Is this a good suit? What exactly does 'semi-dry' mean? Any different ideas?
thanks
