At 82deg, A 3/2 is way too much for me. A skin is all I need.

Around here, we wear a 7mm F/J for most of the summer.

Man, I must really be a wimp:11: . My wife and I go their during June and the water temp. is 84 degrees and I wear a 5/7mm:confused: . We go for two weeks and get in about 45 dives.

I wish I could do it in a 3mm :)
then there must be 2 kinds of wimps because I can easily wear a 1 mm in 84 F and be comfortable but I could never wear a 7 mm and be comfortable.
I remember when I got my first dive skin and first wetsuit (a 4/3 one piece). I had to wear the skin around my house for 5-10 min at a time to get used to it. The first time I came real close to just getting scissors and cutting it off. The 4/3 took considerably more practice and I still dont think I can wear it for a 30 min dive.
That 3 mm is going to be a challenge but I think I can handle it.
Call me whatever you like but I wonder how you guys wear those drysuits and heavy wetsuits. That would make my dive miserable.
