I'm going in for my first dive class tonight. I was asked to purchase at least a shorty wetsuit so I can:
1) get used to putting it on and taking it off
2) the final dive will be somewhat colder water than the indoor pool
3) it is always good to wear a suit to prevent sunburns and stings
I'm located in SW Texas. I do plan on doing some lake diving, but I also will be doing diving in Cozumel as well as the Cayman Islands. Should I just get a shorty for now and just use that, or should I get a full body suit?
The next question, how thick? I'm guessing that 3mm would be good enough for what I plan on doing. I am a newbie, so that explains my questions.
