Well, my buddy took my advice and ordered a 7mm medium density open cell inside freediving suit. He normally only dives in Northern California with 48-55 degree water.


It was a cold day in the water last Sunday when he used the suit for the first time and he said he was about to die! He kept trying to flood the suit but couldn't keep his body cool enough. I don't know if he can dive w/ the hood off b/c the water is very cold here.

What is the best solution for him to have a more comfortable dive? The only thing I can think of is to send the suit to 120' for a few minutes to crush the neoprene a little. He already has crappy 3 mil gloves and socks so I don't know what to tell him. Any ideas fellas?
