wetsuits

[Kirk]

I dive dry locally. My friends call it my Expensive Leisure Suit. It really allows me to extend my locally diving beyond the summer months, and allows me to go to Lake Superior and to depth in Minnesota and Wisconsin quarries.

Prior to getting the dry suit, I was using a 6.5 mil one piece Tilos wet suit for local diving. It's yours if you want it for let's say $45. I'm 6 foot tall and of slender build. I think it is size medium.

For warm water diving I use a 3 / 2 wet suit (three mil on the body, but 2 mil on the arms and legs). Last year at this time it was overkill in the Gulf of Thailand (I don't run my bathwater as warm as that sea), but it provided good protection from the jaws of the oddly agressive trigger fish.
