Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before but could not find a previous thread that dealt with this exact question.
We are planning to do a liveaboard to the Galapagos Islands next year April 28 to May 8. As we are from the Philippines and used to diving tropical, we would have to get new wetsuits to handle the colder water temps.
Would welcome any recommendations on the thickness of wetsuit we should be using during that time of the year. Would also appreciate recommendations on the thickness of the gloves, boots and hood as well.
We want to make sure that we get the proper wetsuits so as not to freeze our a.... off and enjoy the dives but do not want to get too carried away in getting wetsuits that we would have limited uses for in the future. We usually use 3 mm, moving up to 5 mm for the colder month where the water temps reach 25/77 degrees.
Thanks for all your help.
