Switched from a drysuit to a wetsuit for harbor work, here's why

I used to think anyone diving in 48 degree water with a drysuit was crazy to go wetsuit. Last month in Seattle I watched a guy do a full 2 hour hull inspection in a 7mm with a hood and gloves, no complaints. He told me the key is the 3mm undervest and sealing the neck right, and I finally tried it on a short job. The mobility difference is huge, I was crawling under a pier way easier than in my bulky drysuit. Still keep the drysuit for deep or long shifts, but for quick harbor stuff I'm sold now. Anyone else made the switch for shallow cold work?
