Great article so far, but you have got to correct all those misuses of "loose" that should be "lose". I couldn't even get past the second or third paragraph as it was about to drive me crazy.
Thanks for the proofreading. All 3 misuses have been corrected. PM me if you want to be on my staff. Late night writing can have odd results.
I read in your comments that you said you need a 7mm in order to go to the keys in February? I haven't dived the keys but does it really get that cold in February that you need a 7mm?
Depends on your comfort level. I dive a 7mm full in 80 and below. That's just me.

wear a skin and put the wet suit on like pantyhose. a little tug when you get it to the waist and then slide into the top. cakewalk between dives slide out of the top but leave the rest on. i use a shortie.
Since we're talking about putting on wet suits, I just had to post a link to one of my favorite ScubaBoard threads. For your entertainment: Close call in the dressing room.
