Thank you all for your input about the unisuit. Sounds like I made a good 
choice. The zipper setup attracted me because it could provide relief 
from both a full bladder and a hot day (for those of you who have not 
seen it, it starts at the left chest, wraps around the back of the neck 
and continues down to the top of the right thigh). Diving around here 
tends to be hot on the surface and cold on the bottom. Self-donning is 
nice, too.

I am sticking with neoprene for a couple of reasons- The mentioned 
flooded suit with minimal loss of thermal protection. I saw a fellow 
diver have a close shave when his Viking flooded halfway through a decom 
in 40F water. What a dilemma, get bent or freeze. And for diving around 
here in Virginia you don't need to bother with any additional insulating 
garb. As I am not a cave diver, those considerations are not a factor at 
this time.

   Thanks again- Jim
