I fish Cape Cod Bay primarily and will be switching to wetsuit for next year. Before the kids arrived, I used to spend more time underwater than above so I have a nice Henderson superstreatch 7MM suit.
What's the water temp range for 3, 5 and 7mm. I'm assuming air temp has a lot to do with it too. I remember being so hot I was ready to puke, standing on the deck of the boat waiting for someone else to finish gearing up. I couldn't wait to get in the 60 degree water.
We always made it a point to dive on the first week in April. The water was typically 40 to 44 degrees and I could handle about an hour in that range in a 7 mill. It seemed like a week went by before I could actually feel my feet again but the core temp would be manageable.
I know I'll need to buy another suit but I'm not sure if I should go with 3mm or 5mm. Maybe fish the 7mm in the spring and fall and the other in mid season.
