Hi group. This appears the best place to post seeing you dive locally.
Wetsuit dilemma...
I am shopping for a wetsuit. I think I have narrowed it down to a 5/4 for maximum flexibility, kinda!?
I am in Ontario and I know the diving around kand get kind of chilly. However, I may only get out 1-2 times a season to spots like Brockville/Tobermory, and 3-4 times in smaller lakes/quaries more or less to keep my skills up. I prefer to do dive while I travel south which can be 4-6 tips a year. The goal is a minimum of 12-14 dive days a year with 50-60% in warmer waters (Southern California/South Carolina and south)
So, I THINK (?) I am looking for protection in the 5mm or 5/4mm (Bare/Pinnacle) with the option of adding a jacket for local dives. Does this make sense? Would a 5mm jacket for local diving sound appropriate? I assume a 5/4 would suffice nicely in the caribbean with perhaps a future add-on of a 3mm?
Thoughts/Input?
