I dived 7.5 degree water in a 5mm last February. Came home and I immediately ordered a drysuit. 5mm is definitely not enough to keep you warm in British water in winter!
you've got great cold tolerance for 3mm @ 15C!
I swap to my 7mm suit in 16 degrees 😂😂. Saying 3 mm suit is ok for diving in 15 degrees is nuts sure you can do it but it’s a ticking clock to hypothermia. No need to be cold just wear a thick enough suit.
Honestly, I use a 5 mm for tropical waters! I'm never too warm!
Dudes, I have a 3 mm shorty and works great for Caribbean waters, and that is it.
I also have a 7mm that I use for North Carolina dives and have used in south brazilians dives on 18oC.
I would not dare using them for anything below 15oC.
Dives here in NC are around 68oF, or 16oC, which is my limit for a 7mm.
My wife freezes with her 3mm long in waters below 25oC.
Mark, I think those temperatures are the very bottom limit for someone very cold tolerant. I froze my butt off in a 77F/25C dive wearing a 3mm. In 56F/13C, I wore an 3mm, 8mm, and a 5mm hooded vest. That was just right.
78 is how hot I keep my pool, lol. You’re crazy if you think you need a wetsuit at all for those temps.
@@Jake-bt3fc yeah. How they heck are you freezing in almost 80 degree water? thats bath water warm
Man, I dive @25 with only a skin suit, and my 3mm is enough for 17-20C
You can get neoprene wetsuits with down to 1.5 mm and 2/1 mm of thickness. Usually you won't find them in the diving section, but under "watersports", as they are usually labelled "all-purpose wetsuit" for snorkeling, surfing and diving.
1.5mm neoprene full wetsuits are a great alternative to rashguard thin or uv onepiece suits
I only dive 3mm. But for 2 or 3 times dive I got cold. Think maybe 5mm better.
I was recommended by my instructor to go minimum 5mm for UK waters, with 7mm being the preferable. I did my lessons using a 3-2mm and was fine down to 14 degrees but I am aiming to buy the scubapro everflex 7-5mm wetsuit to be safe
can I use a 3/2mm to dive in waters with temperatures ranging from 25C to 28C???
Me diving in 18°C NZ waters with a 5-7mm, vest, hood, booties and gloves: 👁👄👁
The man bun is not a good look mark 🤦🏽♂️🤣
🤣🤣🤣
@@simplyscuba keanu Reeves called to say you're a shoe in for "48 Ronin" :)
Brits are different.. I was a bit cold with a 5mm in 24c (76f) at 40m (131ft) in miami. No way I could wear a 3mm around 15c - dry suit for that
3mm in 15 degrees, you’ve got to be joking. You must have plenty of built in insulation to survive that. Just dived in Menorca 18m in a 5mm for 50mins, cold enough. Would never do that in a 3mm or I’d be using my dive insurance.
The minimum temperatures this guy quote are just creasy ! You have to be built like a seal to bear that !!! Sorry that's not serious : you should have say that is the EXTREM low or for someone able to endure the cold very very well. I think it is better to have a bit more millimeters than the opposite...
I swim in the Pacific Ocean in Canada without a wetsuit. You get used to swimming in 10c if you just stay in the water and move around a bit. It’s not a big deal.
15 degrees Celsius in a 3mm?? You must fin a lot for buoyancy and even at that most would be freezing.
Mark What do you think about using spearfishing/apnea wetsuits (opencell inside and nylon outside)?
Can you recommend a 3 mm shorty with built-in hood?
5mm for 8 Deg Celsius 🤣🤦🏽♂️ yeah right. 5 mm = 16 to 24 Deg C. 🤿
Seems a bit daring to me as well, even as feeling cold is a very individual thing. Actually, I did once a 40 min dive at 14°C in a 3mm. The first 3 min were not a fun thing, but after that it was okay.
I have a 2.5mm and 5mm.
Sharm in June, what are your recommendations?
3mm long should be great, if you feel much cold, go for a 5mm.
What’s going on with the man bun?
Having a drysuit means that my 5mm wetsuit is just for travelling and diving. What is the best way to store your wetsuit? Should they be in those plastic bags the company sends them in when you buy one? #askmark
The best thickness for a wetsuit is called a dry suit
Love the info but when you Temps and stuff can you do them in Fahrenheit and inches as well
The hair... it don't look like u think!! Sad
Little choice, all the barbers are still closed...
First
Yup you were
