A semi dry suit is one which is usually made of neoprene. It actually lets waterin so you will initially feel cold but because the neck and wrist seals are quite tight, the water flow is restricted so your body heat will warm up the water. ot sure why they call it a semi dry mind you, you syill get wet! A dry suit has rubbber seals which don't let water in in the first place. I prefer to dive on a dry suit because the diving I do is usually in cold water. A semi dry is perhaps best used in temperatures of 13-20C. Each person is different so will feel the heat differently. You can also get different thicknesses of a semi dry suit so you should pick one for the type of diving you do. I think they usually come in as 3mm, 5mm, 7mm. Obviously, the thicker it is, the warmer you will be. Some people however don't like the thicker ones as they find it restircts movement a little. This is why I prefer a dry suit since the suit itself is just a membrance but I cano alter how much I wear underneath depending on the water temperature.
Hope this helps. If not, drop me a message!

Why does it take less time for a diver to feel warm in a dry suit than it does in a wetsuit?
A dry suit provides better insulation by trapping a layer of air between the suit and the skin, which slows down heat loss from the body. In contrast, a wetsuit allows water to flow in and out, which can lead to faster heat loss from the body, making it take longer to feel warm.
