What thickness wetsuit for diving in the UK in August......?

J A · #1 02-08-2007, 20:14

I've only ever been scuba diving in lovely warm foreign waters, but am hoping to take a trip from the Isle of Wight in August. I have a 7.5mm Pinnacle Elite wetsuit which I normally use, but what would you guys recommend for the UK that time of year?

Thanks

I'd use a dry suit for UK waters

I sometimes Ice dive in a full 7mm with hood and gloves, so if your cold tolerance is like mine, you're absolutely fine under. I own a dry suit too, but sometimes it's just too damn hot in water that's 55 F or more.
