Thawing out in Chicago

[Scubajeff]

First Timer Here! So go easy on me. Looks like spring has finally arrived and soon I'll be doing some local diving. The water here in the great lakes is pretty cold. I think, soon I'll be looking for a dry suite. Any suggestions on makes or models

Well, I know a shop or two that you could rent one. They may want a cert though, before renting.
