Now you say it it's sooooooooo obvious. I understand he paid extra for the snazey 3d 03 badges on the arms. So thats it then when the suit gets a bit more grubby his head will shrink and he can loose 5Kg

Simple

Lou you are a dive god (es)

Why on earth would you want to do that?  Unless O'Three have started making DUI badges, and improving the quality of the suits to match.

Lanny,

Because I did, Your problem with this is?

Your comments are insulting, the suit was expensive and I can do without such asinine replies.

<font color='#0000FF'>Hi

If I didn't have a DUI my choice would be an OThree. Good suits they are. And the service is excellent (as I have a OThree wetsuit). Might still get one depending on how cold I get this winter with the DUI.

I have to say that if I went for a neoprene suit at any point I would be sorely tempted by O'Three. &nbsp;I have heard nothing but good things about them, and more importantly they look good too!!

Even better they are British made....mind you, so were Austin Allegros.....damn! &nbsp;Still, it is nice to be able to pop down to the factory if you want something done.

Hi,

I went for the neoprene option specifically for it's better thermal characteristics, even the hyper compressed or crushed options are warmer than a membrane, also they are much more flexible. The down side is they cost, by the time I had finished adding all the bits it came to over £900.00, plus the new undersuit and O'three gloves (well I had spent that much already) it was all over a grand. So far, putting aside the extra weight it has proven to be fantastic, whether or not it is worth the amount I spent only time will tell. Still with the smooth skin neck seal the retch fest is a thing of the past so that has to be worth it, doesn't it?

I apologise if my lighthearted and (I intended) goodnatured piss-take insulted you. &nbsp;A bit of banter is one of the things I enjoy about diving and particularly these fora. &nbsp;Just ask fatty Tibble and his strokey big yellow hose protector on his stage bottle!

O'Three suits are pretty well made and their customer service is very good indeed. &nbsp;My wetsuit is O'Three and I love it. &nbsp;They also fitted some great pockets at minimal cost.

I still don't understand why you would pay extra for something that does not add to the utility of the suit. &nbsp;Perhaps it's a non-DIR ego thing??!

Safe diving (with a sense of humour),

[Andy Phillips]

A sense of humour is one thing, down right insulting is another. Why pay extra? because I could, and I wanted to, when you have paid so much already a fiver for a flash badge makes no difference, and in my opinion, looks quite nice. It has bollock all to do with ego, more to do with what pleases me.

Just a little note, finished the dive today with, 70 Bar in twins, 50 bar in travel / deco gas 1, and 50 bar in deco gas 2.

At 6M little or no air in wing and just the squeeze removed in the suit. Perfect weighting, the suit just requires 5Kg's more than the Aerdura, I will have to live with it.
