Hello folks,
I am brand new to SCUBA and was hoping for some words of advice. Currently, I am in the middle of getting open-water certified and will immediately continue on to Nitrox and other classes and dives until I achieve advanced open-water. I have purchased a DUI 30/30 drysuit and wanted to know what undergarments could be purchased through regular chains or online that dont cost $600. Has anyone found a suitable undergarment from Bass Pro / Dicks Sporting Goods, or similar? I was thinking about standard thermals which would probably suffice for insulation on a non-insulating drysuit, but it would look kinda silly if you unsuited in the open . Does anyone here have any ideas that would work AND allow one to maintain some dignity? The waters I am concerned with are from NC to Florida during Aug/Sept and not down for too long at any great depth during these early training dives. Eventually I will be able to afford the proper DUI undergarments after I recover from my initial investments, so I just need a decent temporary fix.
Thanks for your help!
