  1. None.


  2. none

  3. A 3mm two piece, a 5mm two piece, a 7 mm two piece with integrated hood and two dry suits, one a hazmat certified Viking vulcanized rubber and the other a Brooks Seal Suit compressed neo. I dive in conditions ranging from warm water carib (3-5 mm and rarely), St Lawrence/ Great lakes in summer (5mm- dry suit) and just did a wreck/ice dive last weekend( dry because we were going for beers after and there was no place to change or towel off comfortably in the -10Cstatic minus wind chill). Mind you, I also did the OUC Ice floe race in Peterborough two weeks ago in my 7mm. My Dry's would have been too hot for the water temp of 2 C and helping push 10,000 pounds of ice down a river the fastest. :)  Only two of our team of 9 wore dry. They cooked. One was in a 5mm wet. He actually was fine, but a bull of a guy and working hard finning.

  4. In order of puchase:

    3 mm (my first wetsuit for travel, but is so compressed now it is about 1.5 mm)

    7 mm two-piece for local diving

    drysuit for local diving

    7 mm one-piece bought specifically for a trip with chilly water and strong currents (the drysuit is a ton of drag)

    3 mm as a gift

    I could get away with the drysuit for local diving and 3 mm for travel, but sometimes when the water is chilly it is so nice not to have to mess with the drysuit.

  5. drysuot is definately the way to go. its so easy to change afterwards aswell :)
