ONeill 3mm Tropic Low Top Medium Sole Dive Boots
Rating: Great Warm Water Boot 8/18/2010

This boot is great for warm water diving. Its nice and snug and allows you to avoid the annoyance of a boot with a zipper.

Henderson 17oz Superior Polyolefin Dive Skin Jumpsuit
Rating: Good but not Great 9/22/2008

The Henderson Jumpsuit fit great, was easy to get on and off and provided similar warmth to that of a 2mm wetsuit. It was also nice that it had basically neutral buoyancy which allowed me to reduce my weight by about 2 lbs. Last week I used this wetsuit to dive in the waters around Curacao. I found that it was still a bit too warm for my tastes and was able to survive with a rash guard most of the trip. I used the jumpsuit only for night dives or when I got to my third or fourth dive during a day. My one complaint is that the jumpsuit seems to be more susceptible to pilling when compared to a typical wetsuit. After one use, the shoulders showed noticeable wear from my BCD. I am not sure if this was due to rubbing of my BCD with the jumpsuit or maybe Velcro. I did realized that I had some Velcro on my BCD that was not properly adjusted that could have caused this.
