hey everyone, how it goin?
i've never posted before, but i've been reading threads and articles on deeper blue for a bit now and wanted to ask a question concerning buying a wetsuit.
what kind to i need?
i'm in mexico right now, so i only really need a wetsuit for winter/spring (otherwise i can just skindive...)
lets see... I'll just steal the question's someone made on a different
% SCUBA: 15 (maybe?)
% Freediving: 85 (i guess...)
Where do you dive? Sea of cortez
How long do you dive? hmmm... anywhere from 2-6 hours
How deep do you normally dive? 15-50 feet freediving.... 30-70 scuba
How much mobility do you need? enough to spearfish
How cold do you get? i generally get cold the fastest in my group of divers... but most of them are veterans so i'd still put my cold resistance slightly above-average.
How cold does the water get? i want comfort at 45 degrees F. My friend says it only gets to low 50's here, but i want some wriggle room.
i've looked at diveskin.net, and i really liked their stuff. specifically the
oceanos grey. i read the other thread about these suits, but nobody seemed be able to give a good estimate as to how long they would last... two years? four? five? a month? i haven't the faintest idea. i'd like to get a couple years out of it, at least three.
yeah, that's it.
