I have never owned a dry suit in the twenty-five some odd years diving Jersey...Mostly beach diving... I find I can tolerate it when I'm in the 50's on the surface. That's me of course... I'm not going to empty a tank at those temps. Realistically you are talking lower 60's for comfort... if your spending time off shore then as you know it's upper 40's mid 50's at best most of the year and I do dive with a wet suit out there. Not as comfortable as the guys in the dry suits obviously but I am still kicking at the end of a dive... I bought a Scuba pro Semi dry. 6 hundred will get you one...neck,wrist, ankle seals and back entry zipper like a dry suit... check them out... nice suits ! I own one and it does make a difference.
