I need a wetsuit because I will be scuba diving to 100 feet.

You won’t need a thick wet suit, just a reef skin or a 3mm shortie. Lol, we ice dive here in 7mm and you’re thinking you’ll be cold there? Nah. By the way, don’t bother going to 100 ft, not only is there less to see, I doubt that you’ll be allowed to. An AOW diver would know what thickness of suit they need, it seems you’re not AOW.
This cracks me up a bit, sorry.

Edit: WreckTek, yeah, there are a few good wrecks, but it sounds to me like this is a resort course this person may be taking or they are a recently graduated OW. An AOW would know their cold tolerance and thermal protection. Additionaly, I don’t know of any dive ops that will schedule more than 2 dives on a charter. If they’re properly hydrated on the SI, getting cold on the last dive shouldn’t be an issue.
