Howdy,
I'm really happy with my scuba Elios, fits like second skin and I can comfortably dive in situations where everyone else is in their dry suit. So, I'm getting another 5mm for freediving and figured I may as well save on postage, take advantage of the exchange and get a one piece for the pool at the same time.
I'm tossing up whether to get a 1.5mm or 2mm high collar one piece (nylon/smoothskin) for dynamics. It won't really be an issue for warmth - whilst I can't do static or dynamics for too long in cold pools, I am sure that either of these will be enough to keep me warm. It's more whether the extra buoyancy would be a help or a hindrance. The orca frees are 2mm and they now seem to be the suit of choice, however, I don't know how much extra weight I'll need to counter that. I also wonder if the 2mm will be just a bit more durable.
Any advice?
Thanks!
