Hi, I have been diving for over a year in a drysuit and am toying with the idea of buying a semi for the warmer weather (or less cold!). Anyone been down this route?

I have no problems diving in a dry but quite like wet when diving on holiday as less task loading?

:confused:

I like diving in a wetsuit too but it does get cold between dives on a boat and even more so on a RIB. I've got a 5mm zipless suit that I use year round for freediving, it's very warm, I've been using it down to about 6deg in the water. It's made by a French company called Imersion.

5mm zipless suit.

Do you climb in through the neck seal?

It's a two piece, the top pulls on over your head. It really cuts down how much water gets into the suit. It's unlined, just smooth neoprene too so you get a really good seal against your skin. Bugger to get on though.
