In general, I'd suggest not rushing to buy big ticket items like dry
suits until after you're done with your initial training, and have some
rental experience to draw on. Here in Northern California you can get
along fine with a wetsuit anyhow. Not sure what temps you're dealing with
there - 9 or 10C is about the point where drysuits replace wetsuits, though
I've done several at 8.

I've heard drysuits are much cheaper in the UK, so maybe it's not too rash.
