Can anyone give me a good reason not to use a thick neoprene drysuit, the
best available underwear and Argon under the following conditions :

Fresh water
Deep Dive - 100 meter - 20 min bottom time
4 degres celsius temp.

Would anyone do this in a "bodybag" ? In case what kind of "shell-suit"
would be warm enough ?
