zip up my wife's wetsuit - she has a shorty that zips in the back, so now she'll be able to return the favor.. I decided to get the full suit not only for the Guadalupe Isalnd dives coming up, but also for the caves we frequently dive.. the 3mm shorty (with long arms) I have now doesn't cut it in the caves and I usually freeze my butt off..
The Bare suit is 3mm, but supposed to be as warm as a 5mm.. I didn't want to give up flexibility/mobility with a 5mm, so even tho that suit was WAY more expensive than I wanted, I thought it was a good choice for me.. Nautilus suggested we get 7mm suits, but told us the water there is 72F so the "feel" of a 5mm should be good enough - the caves are usually around 76-77, so should good for them, as well..
I also got some gloves - 1.5mm for super flexibility, which I'll need to operate the go pro.. never dove with gloves before, but these look cool and THATS what its ALL about...
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
