I've looked for, but have not found, a guide to determine which thicknesses of neoprene wetsuit are appropriate for which temperature ranges for the "average" diver. I've found bits and pieces scattered about, but not all in one place. What are the temperature ranges for:
3mm shorty
3mm full
5mm full
7mm full
7mm farmer john with step-in jacket
7mm full layered over a 3mm hooded vest
I realize the answers are dependent upon each person't tolerance to cold and the length of dive/exposure to the temperature range. I understand that core temperature is reduced with each succeeding dive unless provided with the opportunity to warm-up again.
I'm just trying to get a feel. Any other layer combo info would be appreciated.
