Hi ZenaGirl,
My original plan was a 3mm... but, I read on a few other threads that a 3mm may not be enough mid-week through a week of diving. Some other divers felt that after diving a few days, they were getting chilled easier.
I do tend to get cold easier. On a typical July summer night in Michigan, once the sun goes down it's not uncommon for me to don a sweatshirt or fleece pull over on.
This is a tough decision for me... I don't want to buy the 3mm and get cold, but I have to admit, I wonder if I will roast sitting around in a 5mm?
The only time I will wear this exposure suit is in the tropics - which could be at any time of the year.
LOL - I may need a new thread now!
Thanks for Pinnacle recommendation! |
I used a 5mm in bonaire from 4pm to later. you will be happy that you have it.
