wetsuit or drysuit?

[LKunze]

In my opinion if you plan to dive fairly frequently then don't waste your money on a wetsuit, get a drysuit.  The waters are always cold at depth in our region and diving dry is the way to go.  If you do not plan to dive enough to justify the expense of a drysuit then a good 7mm wetsuit will be ok.  I dove a 7mm farmer john wetsuit my first year of diving.  Once I dove Lake Superior for the first time I new the wetsuit had to go and have dove dry ever since.
