I'm looking to buy a drysuit in the near future. But after talking to a few people I'm not sure its worth the money. I figured if I bought a dry suit I could use it in about any climate and just vary the undergarments to match the weather. But the people I have spoken with which includes some local instructors and divers have told me that drysuits are a pain to wear and add lots of drag in the water, are restricting, require alot more weight and that most would only wear them in very cold water were a wetsuit is not sufficient. If this is the case and I will only get a few extra dives a year its hard to justify the money. What are some of your opinions? I just felt that after getting use to a dry suit most people would probably get rid of their wetsuits. Any input would be appreciated. And while I got a thread going I may as well ask, I'm kind of on a limit budget since I have to buy the wife one also if I get one, and I was looking at the White Nexus 2 system which is right around 1000.00 and includes everything including undergarments. Any advice on it or maybe better suits for the money? I realize DUI is one of the best but unfortunately I don't have 6000.00 to buy 2 suits at the moment.
Thanks
