Hi there,
This is my first post and I apologise in advance if my question is in in the wrong forum.
My question is this:
I live and dive in Melbourne Australia so the water is pretty cool in the winter, sometimes getting as low as 5 degrees C. I am currently on the lookout for a new suit. I woul like to avoid having a 7mm suit if I can so that I can minimise the amount of lead I have to carry as I have back issues.
would a 5mm semi dry and a lava core top/shorts keep you as warm as a 7mm semi dry suit ?
Thanks in advance
