	It's really not recommended to do tech diving in wet suits,
	especially wearing steels twins!!!

	Having said that, I was doing just that last year in the
	St. Lawrence. My back up plan was to crawl out of the river 
	if necessary as most of the wrecks are by the side of walls.
	Not very pretty but it was a plan.

	You obviously don't have this option in open ocean or lake.
	So don't do it.

	Also, cold becomes a problem quickly on deco stops in current
	in a wet suit, even in the fresh, warm visible waters of the 
	St. Lawrence. So dives are restricted by a wet suit.

	Get a dry suit.
