Wetsuits and Diving Accessories

If you plan to Dive for Abalone on the Northern California Coast, you better make sure you have the right gear to keep you safe and warm. Although it may be a balmy 70 degrees outside, the water on the north coast is not even close to being a comfortable temperature for anything more than dipping your toes in the surf without a wetsuit with a minimum of 5 to 7 mm thickness. Even then, you may experience a brief chill as you first enter the water and your suit gets warmed up to body temperature.
