I need to expand my dive wardrobe so that I can dive locally and not just on tropical dive trips. Local = Great Lakes = COLD!
Dry suits sound nice, but I need two of these (one for me and one for my spouse dive buddy). In reality, because of cost, we'd probably have to put off getting these awhile.
On the other hand, I could afford to plunk down on a couple big snuggly wetsuits tomorrow and get into the water. I'm looking at Pinnacle Kodiak 8 mm semidry suits, the Pinnacle 7 mm merino elasticene suits, or the Aries 7 mm waterproof wetsuit (this one is stocked by my LDS).
Anyone have any feedback on any of these wetsuits or general advice on whether this will be adequate for diving here, off California (in the plans), Puget Sound, etc., or do I really need to go dry?
Thanks!
