Good advice for diving on boat. Plus: we wear an old pair of sailing gloves to protect from barnacles. I keep a bucket w the tools, hanging over the side, just touching the water, so I can get what I need from the water. Sponges, pieces of carpet, 3M sponge, Lanyards on a putty knife, wood chisel, etc. With the Hookah it takes 30 minutes. I wear a shorty wetsuit and a dive belt w about 7# weight to be neutral. Belt came w Hookah and the weights bought on Ebay fit the belt. If I wear a full suit, I can add more weight to compensate for added buoyancy.

It is a 3mm Henderson. I was diving a few weeks ago in 50 degree water and it worked well for that except for my head was a bit chilly. I forgot to dig out my neoprene hood. I like to wear a rash guard under it. The added slipperiness makes it all more comfortable and it seems to be a bit warmer. Also – I know this is TMI times 2 – a speedo or nothing beats a normal bathing suit that gets all bunched up in the wetsuit. A word of warning – I wear the rash guard and gloves even if the water is 90 degrees. Every time I get cut by barnacles the cuts get red and inflamed.

I would like to get a wetsuit to use for diving on the boat. I have only owned a shorty for many years and have heard that the full suits are much more comfortable than what I remember from my windsurfing days. Being tall and skinny I had trouble finding one that fit well and they never kept me warm. This was in the days before hyper stretch neoprene and variable thickness materials. Any recommendation on particular brands or types or are they all good? I don’t intend to dive in very cold water- perhaps 50F and above? Thanks and Happy Holidays to all.
