Wetsuit for Galapagos diving

[MaxBottomtime]

I'll be there in January wearing my drysuit!

I was diving in Fourth Element Proteus ii (5mm full wetsuit) + 7mm hood + gloves on liveaboard in Oct 2017 there. This suit is comparable to 7mm wet suits from other brands. It was a bit chilly on second dives. I highly recommend to take some extra which you can wear as a underlayer.

My visit was at the end of April, 2018. The water temperature varied from a low of 65 degrees off Isabella at Punta Vicente Roca (Mola molas) to a high of 76-77 degrees at Wolf and Darwin. I wore a Henderson Thermaprene Pro full 7mm with or without a 5/3 hooded vest. I wore 3mm gloves at the coldest sites, though were not needed for holding on. I was warm enough on all the dives and was one of a small number of divers that always warm enough. Many divers were underdressed and got quite cold on many of the dives.

I just got back a couple of weeks ago. I wore a Bare semi-dry, 7mm, and while fairly constrictive with the built in hood, I was very comfortable temperature wise during my dives.
