Hi; I spend many years diving in Sydney in a 2 piece 5mm wetsuit. I found them great and versatile. But I have noticed a change in dive industry and that has been a move to one piece wetsuits.
So my question is this, I am moving back to Sydney after a few years away and I want to buy a new suitable wetsuit.
So what should I get, a 5mm or a 7mm. I have noticed that most of them are semi dry now with lots of little high tech features like titanium lining etc.. So what is the equivalent to a 5mm 2piece of old (80's - 90's). Considering a 5 mm 2 piece has 10 mm across the chest etc. but where not as good in keeping water moving in and out.
Would I be ok diving in 5mm most of the year or do I move to a 7mm for Sydney ??????
Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Marty
