Finally switched from a wet suit to a dry suit for harbor work and I'm never going back
I've been diving in San Diego bay for two years now always using a 7mm wet suit. Kept telling myself it was fine just deal with the cold right. Last month a guy I work with let me borrow his dry suit for a hull inspection job. Water temp was like 55 degrees and I stayed down for over an hour without shivering once. No flushing no feeling like a popsicle. Picked up a used one off a buddy for $600 last week. Has anyone else made the switch and regretted it for any reason? I'm wondering if I'll miss the flexibility in summer months.

What kind of dry suit did you pick up? I've heard the neoprene ones can get pretty swampy in warm water. Curious if you're looking at a shell suit for the summer or just planning to layer less.

Man, that swampy feeling is brutal, I feel your pain on that.
