I tend to dive dry up here in NY in my shell dry suit. I have dove wet and I don't think it is cold at all (68-72) so when I dive dry, I have minimal thermal protection on (one layer of Cold Gear by Underarmor). This winter will obviously see that increase to polar fleeces. I am heading down to the Gulf in October to dive at the Flower Gardens. Surface temperature looks to be about 80F but I have no idea about bottom temperatures. Does anyone think I will have a problem in the water with my dry suit - where the temperature is concerned? I won't be hanging around in it out of the water. Thanks for your thoughts.
