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.
Wetsuits
All wetsuits on this page are 7mm and will keep you warm even in the
frigid water on the Northern California Coast. A must for Abalone
Divers!
