When i first started to swim in 92', i had a 3/2 mil suit, mask, fins, and snorkle. A couple of years later, i found a hood floating on the water. I was amazed at how much better it was with a hood! The 3/2 breaths water so you don't stay warm for long periods of time. I now have a 5/3 and it is warm year around to 54 degrees (the coldest i have been in). I was thinking... on those chilly winter mornings, it would be nice to put on a dry* suit. I was wondering if they are practical for freediving. Do they require more weight?
thanks
