PADI Cam
New
Hi, I"m an old PADI diver, having gotten my certificat in 1983. My experience is around two years, having doved in the Kelp Beds off Cannery Row, Monterey Ca, where I got my open water diving cert; braved the massive surf at "Monastery Beach" or to us locals..."Mortuary Beach", participated in a few dives in and out of the cold waters of the Monterey Bay. I soon lost interest in Diving with more added family responsiblities.
Now as a 68 year old woman who's three sons are now grown, its me and the spouse living at home with the dog. So during the last several weeks, I've been thinking of returning back to diving, and get my PADI cert updated. Since we'll be relocating to Texas with the family, I was wondering; just what is the thickness of Wet suits that Texans wear when diving in the many rivers and lakes that surround Texas.
When I trained in the 45 degree cold waters off of Cannery Row, I was using a 5 mm neoprene long john wet suit with jacket, so what I'd like to know is just how thick does the average lake diving Texan wear on their dives?
Thanks,
