In a UK or American made drysuit?

Dos Ojos is better than those pictures. Taking pics in that environment is very difficult. They never do it justice. And Maya Blue, especially the Death Arrow Passage, is better than Dos Ojos.

But fair, I think. You can't claim that cave diving is harder on suits than UK wreck diving if you're using a thinner suit than most UK divers use.

My dive guide in Mexico was complaining after sending back his (non-DUI but American) suit about 3 times. And it was thin. I'm not surprised it leaked. They don't sell those suits in the UK despite their other products being widely available.

Mind you, you don't really need a drysuit in Mexico unless you're doing multiple stage dives IMNVHO.
