Drysuit - Predator vs Dive show

Hi all,

Am looking to get myself a drysuit (I'm promising myself this will be the last thing I need to buy !!). Have had a look at a few on the internet and quite like the look of the Predator membrane ones. The question is should I use my petrol and drive down to see Dennis in predator or should I go up to the dive show and see if theres something good there (more of time issue rather than a petrol one really)? Does anyone have any experience of buying drysuits from dive shows? Is there a lot of choice and can you get good deals there?

Thanks
Helen

I would assume that Predator would have some presence at the Dive Show, so why not go there and see all of the suits on offer, and you can still go and see Predator if you still decide you want one of those.

Oh, and you can come and see us all in the bar

Ah, now I see your dilemma, and I can't really help. I'm in the market for a drysuit myself. I'm trying one that one of the guys on here is selling, and if that doesn't fit, then I will be scouring the show...

Thumbs up

I recently bought a Predator and am very pleased with it, Dennis provides a very good level of service and is happy to show you his manufacturing process if you visit.

I'm sure he will (obFnaarr)

Sorry, this is a family forum, but I couldn't resist.

By all accounts though there are many happy Predator customers on here..

I've got one and its great. Unless you really need to go to the dive show I'd save the entrance fee and go and pay Dennis a visit.

Bloody nice bloke.

Thanks for the replies all . Looks like predator gets a good recommendation. Have decided I will go to the dive show on Saturday and have a look round (hopefully wont be tempted to buy too many shiny things!!) but if I dont see anything I really like will pop down to predator soon. Hopefully see some of you on Saturday.
