From LatitudeAdjustment: Just remember the ocean temps you hear on the radio are surface temps collected and padded by the Chamber of Commerce to lure Bennies down to the beaches from NY. Bottom temps are still in the 40’s and might make 50’s by August. A 7mil is doable, I use a 7 mil with a 2/3 mil hooded vest and a beanie but you are going to get chilled...
Yep.... I get it. Thanks.
Been fishing my own boat for 30 years. Not a Bennie..... Just started diving so I need to figure out what my comfort range is as it varies a lot from person to person from what I hear. I posed the question "what is an acceptable temp to dive wet in a 7mm" on a couple of discussion boards and have heard answers from diving in ice flows to people that they will only dive dry even in the tropics.
I just need to jump in and see how it goes for me.... I’m not very sensitive to cold.
