This is my first winter in Ft. Lauderdale. Would like an advice on how people stay warm when boat diving.
So, you have 2 dives and a surface interval with not so warm wind. Then the 2nd dive that is usually much colder.
1) What wetsuit thickness do you use to stay warm during Jan-Mar?
2) What do you do to stay warm after the first dive when you are on the boat?
3) How do you do the 2nd dive without chilling?
I was thinking to dive a drysuit but I get a bit sweaty in it and during a surface interval I don't really want to be out with a tad moist clothes standing in the wind.
Thus, I have not figured out how to dive in winter without a possible chill. Yet, not to over dress. Should I just opt out for a 5mm and a windbreaker for surface interval?
Please let me know how you do it.
