Why would you want the hassle of a dry suit or any suit in warm waters.
The diving season is during winter in Karachi where temperature gets at 50 Fahrenheit (maybe not so cold with west perspective but pretty cold for me at least) . 5mm Wet suit is stretch battle to put on plus it's not so flexible and after 50 minutes it starts getting cold. So going dry for flexibility, longer comfortable dive as well as better buoyancy.

Because "warm" water is still 20 degrees colder than my body temperature and I have no (<3%) natural insulation. Not everyone is built the same way or has the same tolerance to cold. We do all still like diving though, apparently.
To the OP:
I haven't dived my suit in warm waters, yet, but I did try it on a couple times on my last trip to FL. The DUI TLS350 (what I have) will be a good option in warm or dry water, I think. In warm waters just wear a rash guard or dive skin (to prevent chafing). In cold water wear thicker thermal undergarments.
Is cost a factor in your decision to look at the 30/30?
Yes. Budget of under $1500

Thx all for advice and suggestion.
So I think the verdict is in favor of TLS and Fusion sport. Any other should I add to comparison list?
Do consider it should be light, flexible with enough room to add on insulation but at same time not look like a sack!
