wetsuit - SUBMERGED - 01-27-2003
I havnt done any warm water diving, so I had a question about wetsuits. Do I bring my 3/2mm wetsuit to Cancun and Coz.
Is it too thick?
Re:wetsuit - Derrick - 01-27-2003
I use a 3/2 in Cozumel which is very comfortable for doing a weeks worth of diving. My wife uses a 3mm is a little too chilly and we will invest in a 5mm next trip. So, I don't think the 3/2mm will be too thick.

Jerry,
I use a full 3mm and it's definitely not too warm - and I don't get cold easily. Water temps last Jan/Feb were 78F - you get chilly on a 45 min dive.
Mark Madsen just got back from Coz - air temps in the 60's and cold in the water. He told me to even take a hood and warm clothes for surface intervals.
I'm leaving this Sat for Coz and will be taking the 3mil and a 3 mil vest/hood combo just in case.
When are you going?

Hey Dan, I see you got lucky and received a free ticket to Coz. Good for you.
I'll be going the 22nd of Feb for a week. I cant wait.
Have you been using your Digital Camera on your trips? how is that protective bag working out for you?
Thanks guys for the response on the wetsuit.

Jerry,
Use the camera in the bag only rarely. It's too unwieldy and difficult to use and I only feel safe down to about 30-40ft.
Anxious to see your latest camera.
Have a great trip to Coz.
Dan
