When looking at the divers visiting the web cam this morning, I noticed that everyone was wearing full wet suits, and some with hoods.

Hi Elwin,

The webcam site reports present water temperature. That said, I never dive Bonaire in less than a 0.5mm full suit (October, when the water is 84 degrees), and often use a 3mm. I always wear a hood or a beanie. Being warm adds to diving enjoyment and improves air consumption, at least for me.

I have known folks who dove Bonaire in fleece skin. However, they were definitely more comfortable with cold than me! Even in October, with the water at 84 degrees, I had my 2mm vest on under my 0.5mm fullsuit. But then, I have no blood...

I have a five mil wet suit, a 3 mil shorty, a fleece skin that seems like about 2 mil, and a thin skin.

Last Sept. I wore only lycra skins and was quite comfortable until about the fifth day of 3-4 dives a day then I added a little vest "toaster". I know a lot of people only wear the hood to keep their hair out of their faces. I never really got cold, but I do carry around a bit of natural "insulation".....never leave home without it unfortunately. margarite
