in your opinion & also based from your experiences, what is the coolest and tolerable temperature of the water where you would be comfortable to wear a full 3/2mm diving suit(wet suit)???

Upper 70's, low 80's for me with 2, 45min-1hr dives.

diving in a 75-degree water would be good. i've tried it and the diving suit felt cool at the end of an hour's dive. But when i tried diving in a 5mm diving suit in same temperature, I'd rather commend the 3mil to 80 degrees water temp and above.

When taking an average length dive that goes for 30 to 45 minutes, I'd be okay to stay in mid 70 degrees wearing a 3mm diving suit.... and if it gets colder, I can add 2 to 3 mm hooded vest, then i'd be comfortable in the lower 70's... but still, this still depends on the diver, so you can see for yourself which works for you..

most probably, i can put on that diving suit when im in a water temp that's 75 degrees and above. but that's the maximum i can tolerate!
