RE: Scuba dive gear
Hey Capt...I got a 7mm, and used it last winter, and at the springs (wich was a lil overkill but I sure was warm)
I went divin today in the bay, and the waer temp was 51.3 degrees, and I have a Neo Spert 3 mm farmer john from MBT that I got at a hell of a good price, and it kept my body warm....lil chilly, but managable. I have Tilos 5mm booties wit a rela thick tenashoe style sole that I use year round, and I love em cuz I never get a cramp in my leg, and my feet were allright today. Kow gloves, I HAD a pair of akonas 5mm gloves, and ended up losin one, and only have the right one, and I wore that today (I been wearin my thin Riffe kevlar gloves, also from MBT that I got for an unbelievable price), and on the left hand had a Calcutta neoprene glove from GBBT, and after 2 short dives, I had to quit, cuz my left hand felt like a lobster claw with the way it was cramped up. Had I had both my 5mm gloves, I woulda took 2 more short dives, and got more oysters.
In the Gulf last monday, the 3mm farmer john was just fine.
Thats what I have been using, and I hope it helps a lil.
