Few things to consider.
Do you need a wetsuit for the areas you fish? I see guys fishin wetsuits that aren't going any farther then they used to, if thats the case you'll proably get more comfort in breathables.
Are you in shape? You need upper body strength and endurance. Its not like standing on a rock, fish, then walk off to the next spot. Just getting to and from weed covered rocks takes alot of energy not to mention constant waves.
Do you have buddie who is on your level? I can't say enough how when I fished with CH one night changed my whole out look on wetsuiting. What may take you 1 season to discover in the areas you fish may be done in less then half the time. All about confidence!
Buy good gear. Vs or a packed 704. Aggressive korkers that don't fall off. I use a 3mm 1pc henderson.
Even though I have not caught more then I did before wetsuits there is a huge personel satisfaction just being able to get on rocks never thought possible. Certain spots allow you to fish places that boats wouldn't dare. I beleive with common sense its totally safe if not safer. Start by fishing low tides, during the day, in familar ares that you know, you'll be surprized how much you'll discover that first trip.
