Hi UK divers,
I'm a diver from South Australia and moving to Kent next month. I'm an experienced cool water diver but as yet don't have many sub 10 degree dives under my belt.
I do have some experience with drysuits (I own a Waterproof D1) but whenever I dive during winter here in SA (11-15 degrees for many months), I am always much more comfortable in my 2 piece 7mm open cell spearfishing suit, than the drysuit. As a videographer, I find water tends to always leak water in the arm seals and my I have to wear what seems to be a ridiculous amount of weight to get down.
My question is, are there many divers out there who regularly dive wetsuit rather than drysuit in the UK?
Since I'm trying to be careful with the amount of luggage I'll be taking over.... Would I be crazy to not bring my drysuit?
Thanks,
Stefan
