I have to agree with Marv & Jim. We do have 42 degrees here in the winter I
have done it wet. The Water is 40 now.

Wet at 42 degrees I use 12# w/6.5 mm, hood gloves and the works. Now I am
not as big as Jim. It all sounds a bit to heavy. Do the right thing.

Drain you tanks to 500 PSI, get neutral with your kit in the pool, then add
3 ~ 5 for the Ocean. That will help balance you out.
