Ron19,
Go to MBT and tell them exactly what kind of diving you are interested in, e.g. spearfishing, sightseeing, etc. and they will recommedn the right wetsuit for you. Since I spearfish, I use my 3 mm during the spring, summer, and fallstrictly to protect myself from cuts and abrasions. I also need the wetsuit because I use a Shark Shield.If you plan to dive during the winter months, you'll need something more substantial. How much more substantial? That depends on how cold you get, what kind of boat you are diving out of, andif you plan to dive in Jan and Feb. During the middle of the winter, if you're diving out of a boat that has a cabin (not a cutty cabin but a real cabin with a heater) a wetsuit will be fine since you can get out of it and warm up. On the other hand, if you plan to dive extensively in the middle of the winter out of a center console boat :dohor acuddy cabin without a heater, I recommend you look into a dry suit.A two or three tank dive trip under the latter conditions canget pretty cold. There are a lot ofvariables to consider. You can be sure that the folks at MBT will steer you right and will not try to sell you something you don't need.
I live in Navarre and drive all the way to MBT for all my diving needs despite having to endure the type of abuse dished out by
