hello people, im pretty new to this, just got my OW and AOW like a month ago, personally i dont plan on stop diving for a while even though the water in our country isn't the best in the world.
anyways. here's my case. i took my course in sharm al sheikh , the water temp was 28C which should be pretty fine for alot of people, unfortunately im not one of them.
according to my diving center over there. i was wearing 5mm shorty wetsuit with long sleeves and i was shivering under 6 meters. so i talked to my trainer. then he gave me 5mm long johns (trousers), so thats like 10 mm on my main body parts , and 5 mm on my sleeves. most of my diving centers dont provide us with wetsuits and most of them say "you'll be fine with 3 mm" sadly, i know myself. i can't take on cold weather or cold water. but buying a drysuit for just 24-28 water is a bit extereme, right? when i explained my situation to a friend of mine who's been diving for a while "currently taking technical diving" he said "just buy 5 mm suit"
so i dont know. i doubt i could return the suit if i buy it "customer service sucks in my country" i'll have to visit the retailers 1st but i wanna have a basic idea about what i should be getting, any brands? or specification that i should mention to the sellers?
a lot of people telling me also to get away from "thick" wetsuits , since they restrict my movement in water, but again i dont wanna be cold and call off a dive cuz im shivering. are there special suits that come like the 2 pieces i wore? like for example "7mm on the body" and "5mm sleeves?"
sorry for making this sucha long post. but its my 1st post here "had to put some passion in it"
thanx in advance
oh yeah. o forgot to mention that im back to the gym "i lost 10 kgs due to surgery and medication" but most likely im gonna get them back in couple of months, if i buy it now, and i get a bit fatter, would my suit be useless?
