Scuba Forum / General / March 2004Exposure suit for Cozumel
I will be diving in Cozumel last week of Februrary. What exposure suit should I take? I have a 3/2mm neoprene or Lycra body suit. Adam > I will be diving in Cozumel last week of Februrary.

I have done Coz in Jan with just lycra, but that little extra from the 3/2 may be wuite comfortable. >either would be fine. I have done Coz in Jan with just lycra, but that >little extra from the 3/2 may be wuite comfortable. For me, it would depend on the number of dives planned. Even in the 3/2, on Sunday, dive #7 and 8, I was getting a little chilly. --- Rich http://richlockyer.tripod.com/ > on Sunday, dive #7 and 8, I was getting a little > chilly. Yet another topic turns to sex... <grin> That depends on how cold you get, I dove many time in Coz without any protection. You might consider a Lycra suit just to protect yourself from rocks and coral. If you plan on diving in deeper water than you might consider a 3mm suit.

I was planning on taking my 3/5 Seaquest (its all I have). I can always shed if I'm too hot. Jerry > That depends on how cold you get, I dove many time in Coz without > any protection.

The Best of rec.scuba http://www.pathcom.com/~bracuk/RecScuba/ >I will be diving in Cozumel last week of Februrary. What exposure suit >should I take? I have a 3/2mm neoprene or Lycra body suit. I was there last week. Water temp was around 79...down to 100 or so. The cenotes are belching their cold water, too, so you'll run through pockets that feel fairly cool. I don't have lots of "padding" so I use a 3 mil full year-round and am very comfortable. This past week, I put a 2 mil shorty over it and wore a thin hood. Made a BIG difference from the first day's dives when I was sporting a 3mm and no hood. Dive safely. (btw...someone sighted a whale shark a month ago and the spotted eagles are running in full force. you'll not likely encounter the whale shark, but the eagles are always spectacular) BJ >I will be diving in Cozumel last week of Februrary. What exposure suit >should I take? I have a 3/2mm neoprene or Lycra body suit. Understanding that I *ALWAYS* dive dry at Catalina, I wear a 3/2 fullsuit on any dive that I'm not diving dry. I own a shorty and have yet to use it. --- Rich http://richlockyer.tripod.com/ Adam, I dive there twice a year and bring a 3mm shorty. Works great!! I have used a lycra full suit in the past, but after a week of diving, I started to get cold. Kevin > I will be diving in Cozumel last week of Februrary. What exposure suit > should I take?

I'll cya there if you're going March Have fun > Adam, > I dive there twice a year and bring a 3mm shorty. Works great!! I have used [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > > > Adam |
