I have the chance of buying an Oceanic drysuit. Now the suit will fit me no probs but is designed in height for somebody that is 6'0 where as I am 5'11.

Is this going to be a big problem or can I get away with it? This drysuit is going for a steal and is almost brand new so you can understand my temptation!!

Thanks as always

Chris
like ian said if its only 1 inch you should get away with it, you say that the suit will fit, have you tryed it on then?
you want to make sure you can reach behind your head for shut downs and bring your knees up or crouch easily other wise you won't be able to put your fins on or adjust the straps when you are diving. so like the man said stick on your thermals and try a few moves
