I just ordered my first drysuit and am really excited about it! Finally I won't have to wait for the lakes to warm up and I can dive more than just a few months of the year!

it opens the door to a whole lot of more diving!!!!!
a lot more enjoyable to suit up without the stress of yanking on a 2pc 7mm!!!!
get some training with it in a pool before you try it in ow as there is a bit of a curve to using them
bouyancy issues can create a severe safety risk for you without a knowledge of proper use!
you'll have a hard time reverting back to wet!!!!!!!
have fun

It took us quite a while, and three pool sessions, to get comfortable with a drysuit. But once, done, it's GREAT !!

Good idea to get the training.

I take my drysuit to the Red Sea too. I see the others struggling to get on their tight wetsuits (shrink in the closet phenomenon), shivering on a long dive, complaining about rashes and dry skin and dripping all over when they emerge, soaked like a wet cat from their wetsuits. No thanks! Even in the tropics wet hair & wet hands are enough for me.

I love diving in the local waters in a Dry Suit. When I used to teach, I did 90% of my dives in a Dry Suit.
In 1997 I took two DUI Dry Suit with me on the Kona Aggressor. I took them just incase one of the AOW student I had wanted to do the Dry Suit Specialty. Non of the student wanted to do it, but the Co-Captain of the Kona Aggressor and I swapped specialties. I taught him the Dry Suit and he taught me UWPV Underwater Propulsion Vehicle.
Ever with really light weight under garments, the water temp was 75° F it was too hot. I don' t think I could have done every dive in a Dry Suit in those water temps.
I could only imagine in the Red Sea I would be more wet on the inside from sweat the on the outside from the water!
