Subject: Drysuit-Wetsuit?

Since I started talking about using a drysuit in warm Caribbean water I get
the feeling that some people understood that I think a drysuit is a
absolute "must have" in a DIR configuration, even in warm water...

This is not the case. I was just pointing out why I like the drysuit for
some dives. 

What it comes down to is: Wetsuit/aluminium doubles, drysuit/steel doubles.
Since I have 80's alu and 98's steel, I use the 98's for longer and deeper
mix dives. 

Before I used the drysuit in warm water I could never imagine that it would
be so comfortable. Ever since I found out, I prefer to use the drysuit over
the wetsuit. That is something I found. I would recommend others to do it,
but never insist on it. The suits are indeed damn expensive. 

Regards,

THOMAS
