Wetsuits

[Dewit2it]

Mountain Bay has a few of their Henderson rental suits for sale.  I think they were the standard neoprene version in either 7mm or 7/5mm and around $175.  The suits looked to be in new to near new condition.

Since you're in GB, check out Green Bay Scuba or Aqua Center.

If you plan on diving around here I would look into drysuits.

When diving wet, I much prefer a hooded vest to a bibbed hood.  Big difference.
I would have to concur:
I dive The Big Lake (Lake Michigan) & Ice Dive with a Hooded Vest & a 7ml
Bare; I'm warm and Comfy!
The Hooded Vest Makes A BIG Difference!
A Dry Suite is the way to go up here, But I get by without one.
It all depends upon your comfort level!

Wet suit, wet suit?  Is that when you do not close your dry suit zipper all of the way?

Yes, go with a custom suit, it's well worth the little extra you may end up paying. I picked up a suit from two years ago. it's technically a 5mil and has served me well from hour long deco dives in Lake Michigan to cave dives in Florida. The things are durable, warm, and reasonable.

I strongly reccomend pinnacle's line of wet suits.  I own one and it's great-- I stay warm and fairly dry( as dry as one can be in a wet suit).
