So I do almost all of my diving in Florida. Cruise dives in the Caribbean once or twice a year. The trick is, I go to school in Central Florida, and the only diving is in the springs. 72 degree water year round.

Think I can get away with a 3 mil suit? I'm thinking a Henderson Hyperstretch (can get employee discount on one). I wear 2 or 3 mil boots, and reef gloves. The springs stuff will only be during the school year, because I dive all summer (and even part of the school year) on the East coast of Florida, or the Keys in either a shorty or just a rash guard.

Henderson also has the "free hood" deal, and I might be able to get a vest as well.

Thoughts?

Thanks guys!
 
I use a 3/2 Full year round here in Florida for all my ocean dives as well as springs..Just fine for me.
 
3 mil should be fine for year round diving in Fl and the carribean.you might want a hood for the winter.I did the sheridan in Jan with my 3 and was fine,with my hood.
 
Very cool. What was the water temp on that dive?

Looks like I need to get me a new suit!

Thanks again guys....more opinions welcome....

The bottom temp was 64 degrees and I did that in my mares tropic 3 mil with separate hood.
 
Very nice! Thanks again bro!
 
You can use a 3/2 all year round but can get chilled on multiple dives in the winter...I added a 5/3 Henderson Gold Core hooded vest and I'm toasty.

Cheers.

Thanks J! Henderson has a pretty sweet deal right now, I can get a 5/3 "full hood" for free if I buy a suit. Bingo!
 
Just bought my Henderson Hyperstretch 3m full suit and 5/3 hood. I'll let everyone know how it works! :D
