Charles,

Advantages drysuit:

1. warmth
2. buoyancy caracteristics
3. backup buoyancy

Even in the warmest parts of the world it is nice to dive a drysuit. I dive
82deg water and use a drysuit for mix dives.
A shellsuit (DUI) with different undergarment depending on the dive time.
The difference in comfort is amazing. Buoyancy is better and you have a
nice backup for wing failure.
BTW I noticed you want to buy a drysuit; take a look at the DUI TLS before
you consider anything else. Might save you some money in the end when you
start destrokefying yourself...


Regards,

THOMAS
