Post subject: | After a wetsuit and a float setup |
I'm about 6'3 and 80-85 kg. I'm after a 3mm or a 5mm suit. I don't do a whole lot of diving over winter but I plan to. Would 3mm keep me warm enough for short dives in winter. I'm from the Wilson's prom area. New or second hand I don't mind! As long as it's in good condition. Also after a dive float setup too! Looking to spend $250 - $350 on the suit. Is that realistic? And maybe $50 - $100 on the float. Cheers! |

350 will get a 3mm Esclapez labrax (From Brett). 380 will get the 5mm. 3mm opencell might keep you warm for an hour or two in winter (by that I mean, it will fend off hypothermia - it wont keep you particularly comfortable too long) - 5mm is definitely the way to go. You can pick up inflatable floats for about the 50 dollar mark - but make sure you get a good quality float line too (which are going to be about 50 - 100 depending on brand and length). |
