I'm thinking about getting a tropical drysuit for, well, tropical diving.
Before all the snide comments start, I'm 145lbs and about 5% body fat (actually up from about 3% in high school). I get cold in 78 degree water- enough to make the diving not worth it after a couple dives. If I go on a week long (or longer) liveaboard, it wears on me to the point where I just don't like getting in the water. I want to enjoy being underwater, not fighting hypothermia the entire time. I'm hoping a drysuit can make up for my lack of natural insulation...
So... I'm thinking about a tropical drysuit. Possibly the DUI 30/30. Does anyone have one? Any experiences? Does anyone know of a local shop that carries DUI equipment?
