Will a beavertail keep me warm enough in Hawaii?

[MondoMarcus]

So I'm moving to Oahu late this summer or early this fall. I love surfing in my vintage, 70s style beavertail. For those of you that don't know it's a wetsuit jacket that zips up in the front and is relatively thick.

I was just wondering if this will keep me warm enough on dives in Hawaii. Or do I even NEED a wetsuit jacket at all?

If she is good looking and friendly enough then I would think so.

lol... no, sir. I'm staying far, far away from women for a long time. hahaha

I would suggest moving to Adak Alaska then. LOL. I dove Oahu 30 years ago in a 1/4 beavertail and was very comfortable.

If it works in Melbourne Australia? Sharkskin, long sleeves, waist pants.

Cool! Well that just means I don't have to buy a diving wetsuit until/if I move back to California.
