Everyone giving great info. ...I would just add one other thing...since your looking at a 3mm, which is also the suit commonly used by surfers, make sure the suit you get is meant for SCUBA and not a surf suit...the suits meant for surfers have a different neoprene bubble make up..they arent meant to be at depth and they don't compress and expand back like the neoprene used in a scuba suit...they would work to keep you warm,,for one dive.
What should I look for in a wetsuit?

Do you have any specifics on this? All of my wetsuits are for surfing except my 7mm jacket and they all work just fine for diving, at least down to 75 feet and temps in the low 40s (which included the jacket).
I'm curious if there is any manufacturing information you have regarding this or what? Where did this information originate?
