[Choose #5] Duh, anyone who doesn’t check "It changes with the water temperature" either doesn’t get around much or is super hard core (swim suit in freezing water) or a wuss (dry suit in the tropics)

[Choose #5] When in Great Lakes we used dry suit as thermocline can change 10 degrees, whereas St. Lawrence river in summer is wetsuit until fall.
