Wetsuit
What thickness wetsuit should I be wearing if I am Diving to depths of about 20m in the Med this Summer ?
I am crewing on a ship which will be sailing around the med this summer and i will be looking to do some diving as we Sail. I am looking to buy a Quality wetsuit but don’t really know what thickness i will need if im diving to depths of a round 20m in different locations around the Sea (Anywhere from Sardinia to Tunisia). Any recomendations would be much apreciated!
Hi Eyes,
Depends how much you feel the cold. I use a 5mm Semi-Dry and find it suits me fine for the Med. If your planning on doing a Lot of repetative dives you would be better off with a dry Suit though. Dont buy Cheap, and dont but a steamer, buy the Best Semi you can afford (recommend Mares Isotherm), a budget of around £150 – £200 should see you right.
Enjoy your trip.

The Full Suit is a One Piece suit that covers arms and legs.
This suit is the best multisport suit and can Complete Cover the arms and legs completely or Only cover the legs to the knees and the arms to the elbows.

Finally, two-piece suits employ mix and match System for triathlon clothes that can include Long or short bottoms with long tops, short tops, or no tops at All.

Like other clothes , choose a suit that is in the middle of the road to ensure the most usefulness.
