Yup me !

I have a Titanium lined dry suit it is 6.5mm thick and I wear ordinary
thermal underwear ( not a wooly bear of thinsulate)under it. Coming from the
UK most of our winter dives are 3-7 degree's Celcius, the summer ones are a
bit warmer ! My reasons for this rather than a more conventional solution
was to reduce the weight that I would need to carry, I got 2 kg's off.

Oh and by the way the zip failed on entering the water once and due to a
combination of the tight fit and thermal properties of the suit I was able
to continue the dive (wet).

Hope this is of use.
