    I think the horror of getting into a wet wetsuit (much worse than a dry one!) is a big part of the reason I simply dive dry everywhere nowadays . . .
    Yes! The absolute horror of getting into a cold wetsuit after the first dive convinced me to love my drysuit - I could always handle dive #1 but #2......dry suits rule.
    With a skin two side suit that's never an issue, the Rubatex does not wet, it dries instantly.

    Diving in the north west you need a drysuit. But admit it, if you're in an area where you don't need a drysuit, you're trading one set of problems for another.
    ...dry suit everywhere?.. Not sure if if you would be OK to dry dive at water temperature being +30C (86F) and air temperature of around 45C (113F)
