I wind up with 70-80 min. in water times on average. I will admit I shorten the dive times when the water is below 10C. You have to understand that I am 190cm tall and weigh in at 130kg so I have plenty of thermal mass to help keep me warm. I wear a thermal dive skin under the drysuit, which I omit if diving in the gulf stream, where the surface temps can approach 30C, it is then that I wish I had a shell suit. I am saving up for a DUI200 currently, expensive for me as I need a custom fit.
