So, about the drysuit.... what suit are you diving and what did you wear as an undergarment? I wear a 5mm wetsuit when water temps are in the low 80s, and add a layer when temps are in the 70s. I've been looking at a couple DUI suits, the Tropical Dry (30/30), a 350, or something from another company. Much lighter to pack then a 5mm, and in cooler months, another layer, and I wouldn't really care who laughs at me, being dry and warm is a huge plus. Nothing is worse then getting into a cold, wet, wetsuit for a 2nd dive or night dives when you're someone who's already getting chilled by day 3 of the trip.
What I like about the 30/30 is it's supposed to be made for warm climates and warm water and be pretty breathable on the surface. What I'm not so sold on is not having any attached feet. That would be 2 more seals that could potentially fail.
I've been using a drysuit here in the NE the last year, but it's not my suit and not one that is suited to recreational diving or travel. I have discovered though that I really have no interest in diving wet anymore, not even if it's summer in the Caribbean and the water is 82.
