Hey, going to do neon early next week, preferably without a wetsuit. Anyone down there recently? How wet was it? If it's just the 2 keepers and the rap at the end, think I'm ok without my wetsuit?

Talked to a group who did it two weeks ago and they said it was full to the brim and they floated over the keepers.
I have done Neon twice and I will always recommend wetsuits after my first experience where two of our party got hypothermia. One was wearing an old skinsuit and the other had a shorty but his rappel device got jammed after rappelling into the water and his hands got so cold he panicked and couldn't even pull the rope through. Another of our party had to swim back and help him. You may get other advice but I would say at the very least wetsuits serve as insurance against someone having a very incredibly bad time.
