70 degree water is the surface temp in summer. Sunday it was 56 on the surface
and 52 at depth. Yep, drysuits are a good idea here.

Stop messing around with the exposure suits. Get a DUI TLS 350.
Great suit, fits well and it WORKS. Contact Ocean Enterprises in
San Diego as they will price match anyones price in the country
(If you look back in the archives, George Irvine also mentions a
place in Boston that provides discounts for the WKPP, but I do not
know what their *negotiated* price would be)

Take the time (and the access) with all of the material presented and LEARN.
Yes, DM = instructor slave, but there is a lot of good material out there
look for it.

It is O.K. to ask questions and keep learning. Once you stop learning
on this list you are DOOOOOOMed.
