Hi Mikey,

you're right here with this in temperate water=2E In very cold water, the =20=
=20
concept of being too hot during deco is something we just dream about  =20
whilst freezing our bollox off=2E You're either cold or comfortable=2E Hot?=
  =20
Ooh, just once I'd love to be=2E

Best,

I don't agree=2E  The insulation provided by the drysuit changes with
depth=2E  If you dress for the cold water at depth, you will overheat
during deco in shallow water when the suit's insulation is at its
maximum=2E  If you underdress to compensate, you'll be cold at depth=2E
Neither is a good compromise=2E

Neoprene drysuits are, IMO, a poor choice for most diving=2E
