For dinghy sailing may be but not diving. I wouldn't use one even in Durban and it only does down to 20C in winter.

Did not see and thickness of material and for diving in cool/cold water that is quite important.

3mm is pretty much as thin as the material comes and is the norm as a summer suit in the UK. For more extreme weather or as a winter "steamer" you'd want at least 5mm. Mind you, at that price its a good deal even if they only last a season. Compare this with best part of a thou for waterproofs that only come in one length fitting (despite the price). I'm thinking of trying the drysuit I bought for use in the club's RIB for sailing this year - especially if the Summer turns out like last year!

My wife used one for surfing in warm waters for several years and was very happy with it. Definitely a summer suit and not as long lasting as a more expensive one, but cheap and does the job.
