Never had a shell suit but I did own a DUI CF200sp crushed neoprene and it
was an excellent suit. I live in CT and I could dive year round, wearing the
30-50 underwear in the winter and light sweats in the summer on shallower
dives. It was an expensive suit but I used to teach so it worth it to me.
It did offer some insulation on it's own, less than a full 1/4" suit buy
more than a shell suit.

You won't need a dry suit in the St Lawrence during the summer! Water temps
last weekend were in the mid 60's. By the end of July I do most Brockville
wrecks in my 2/3mm shorty!

Kingston however, hits the mid 40's at depth, so a dry suit is much warmer
there!
