Really appreciate all the advice here! A lot of great tips - I'll likely start shopping 5m full suit prices in the near future; if not for us both, at least for her.
On a related note, we were in the quarry just this past weekend... about 15 mins in, my daughter gave me the "shiver" and "surface" signals. After aborting the dive and spending over 90 mins in the heated car with blankets, she was still shivering! Obviously, we called it a day at that point.
We both were sporting identical rented 7mm gear: a shorty over bob bottoms with hoods & gloves. Bottom temp was 46F, so no real surprise, although we've both dove in similar temps and I myself wasn't extremely cold or uncomfortable.
It just wasn't our day lol
