RE: [Paddlewise] Wetsuit sizing help needed for Newbie

My memories of diving off LA are 55-60F water in 7mm wet suit which gave
me about a 1/2 hour dive time before I was in agony...and this was
before I lived in Florida! If I were you I would either rent a wet suit
or buy a used one from a dive or surf shop. A 2/1 (I believe it's
thinner in the extremities) is a joke. You would be better off in shorts
and a T-shirt so you won't be fooling yourself into thinking you had any
protection.
