Scuba Wetsuit

Scuba Wetsuit
What size wetsuit do you know need for scuba diving?

I live by the great lakes and i want to know how thick of a wetsuit do i need to scuba dive? i am taking a scuba class at the end of august and need a wetsuit before then? i was told 7mm by a couple of people and me and my buddy are diving 50 to 70 feet down.

It all depends on how cold the water is. I dive in the Puget Sound and the water ranges from 40 to 55. During the summer some people can get away with wearing a single 7mm suit. but during the winter most people use a full 7mm suit and a 7mm shorty on top of that. When I started my diving it was in the month of March. I froze my *** off in the 14mm stuff. Right after my Open Water certification I got my dry suit cert. If you are going through a class they should have rental equipment so you don't have to buy a whole kit just to learn. If they don't or if they say you have to buy it all then go to a different shop. For most Open Water classes all you have to buy are mask, fins and snorkel. Everything else is rented from the shop. They will have the proper suits for you to wear.

Good luck with your diving.

The Cayman Islands offer some of the best wall diving in the Caribbean if not the world. The islands are located in the Central Caribbean due south of Cuba and west of Jamaica. The Caymans consist of three islands, Grand Cayman, Little Cayman, and Cayman Brac. The islands are the result of a tectonic plate collision and are the exposed tops of an underwater mountain range.

The Cayman climate averages 85-105°F (29-39 °C) during the summer and drops to a low of 70°F (19°C) during the winter. Water temperatures average 80°F (20°C) in the winter and 82°F (20°C) during the summer.The diving season is May through September but as with most tropical locations good diving can be found in other times of the year.

Divers from around the world descend on the three islands to dive, and the islands do not disappoint. The Cayman Islands are known for a deep oceanic trench that approaches very close to shore in multiple locations. This trench is what gives Cayman diving its exceptional visibility but even better it makes the Caymans the go to spot for wall diving in the Caribbean.

If you've spoken to divers who've dived Cayman they invariably will mention StingRay City on Grand Cayman. Sting Ray City is a particularly shallow dive at only 12ft. (4m) but it is also one of the most interesting as sting rays swoop all around you in search of food that your guide feeds them. Sting Ray city is probably one of the more famous dives having been featured on numerous travel and dive shows and magazines.

The Cayman Islands are consistently rated as one of the safest spots to dive in the world. The Cayman Islands Watersports Operators Association (CIWOA) along with the Department of the Environment ensure that dive procedures and regulations are in place and followed. More than 200 permanent mooring buoys are changed on an annual basis which allows coral regeneration and gives heavily visited dive sites a break from divers, boats, and the resulting impact on the environment.

The Cayman Islands should definitely be put on your dive to do list. You won't be disappointed.
