I honestly wish I would have bought a 7mm instead of a 5mm
I got cold a lot on that trip
No chance I'm going to be too hot in it? For calibration, I tried to dive Palos Verdes in summer in my 7 and was way way overheated.

I'm going to be around the north island primarily from late November or so to April. I've got a brand new 3.5mm open cell wetsuit on the boat (for sure coming with me), and a somewhat worn 7mm open wetsuit I can bring.
Published summer water temp ranges are 18-22C, which pretty much says buy a 5mm. Should I buy 5mm or just try and ride it out with the 7mm, or buy 5mm and bring 7mm?
I dove Bay of Islands in 2004 in a worn out surf suit and froze.

Hi my name is Jack and I am from northern California.
I am in the midst of a 2+ year sailing trip. We started in Santa Cruz, Ca, stopped in Hawaii, and have made it as far as French Polynesia. This year we'll be in French Polynesia, Cook Islands, Samoa, Tonga, and then New Zealand by December. We'll spend the austral summer (cyclone season) in the north island of New Zealand. If anyone is going to be in any of those locations, shoot me a PM
I am back visiting friends and family for the next month and a half in Norcal, and if anyone wants to dive San Mateo coast or central coast, shoot me a PM.
I also enjoy mushroom hunting, rifle and bowhunting, hook and line fishing, sailing, boating, scuba diving,cooking, and adventure in general.
Jack
