C-4 thinsulate - the good kind used by DUI ( intended to be compressed) ,
not the bullshit used by others and sold cheaper. The real thing is all you
need under your suit, and it works flooded while not changing your buoyancy.

While we are on the topic of drysuits I have a question:

I have been improvising my undergarments by using thermals more appropriate
for camping than diving. I realise now that this is not such a good idea. I
suspect I may be carrying excessive weight since I have to compensate for
the lack of warmth from the garments by adding more air. What sort of
undergarment who be suitable for dives in 10degC (around 50degF) water with
exposure times of around one hour?

(If there happen to be any Aussie divers that can comment about products
available here in Australia that would be helpful - I'm basically talking
about Melbourne dives in mid-winter)

Thanks,    Dave
