Quick question:
I have 7mm full body cressi wetsuit and in addition I wear a 7mm ice-vest (like a shorty, but with hood), so core body is engulfed with 14mm, in addition 5 mm booties and gloves.
Any ideas what the coldest water temperature is for such a setup? I dove off Nanaimo in the frigid PNW waters, that was chilli but still ok.
So the ice if off my local waterhole now, I dipped the thermometer in the water a few days ago and the water is around 7 degrees C (=44F).
Should I try to solodive? Or is this too cold, w. hypothermia risk?
opinions welcome!!!
