Hi All,
Im built like a sardine and get really cold during long dives even while wearing a drysuit. Just wondering aht undersuits other NZ drysuit divers are wearing that they find keep them really warm?

Anyone got/used the oceandry undersuit (hydrotech I think they call it)?
Yes its cold... no I dont care that you feel the cold easily... no we can't get out....

What suit type are you using?

I am thin but have an ocean dry Bravo which is neoprene so insulates unlike the thin ones.

I wear a pair of thin fleece pants and tuck them into my socks with a good old green short sleeve swazi fleece top when it's winter.

A good hood and gloves do a lot to help.

Summer I wear shorts and a tee shirt.

I ditched my bcd a few years ago and that feels pretty good in terms of streamlining what is a bulky way to dive.

I wouldn't go to deep without a bcd though.

Hi garry
Im using a bravo as well. A lot of my diving is fairly slow moving or lying still so still tend to gey cold wearing merino undergarments and fleece pants plus fleece top... so just interested to hear what others are using.

"onesies" are the answer
 
get two to make the postage worthwhile  though- I can vouch for the crewsaver and iceman as being really good
