hi

i need a new dry suit cos mines shrinking everytime i have a beer (honestly...).

not too fussed neoprene or membrane (no arguements please!)

looked at the oceanic flexia, or maybe aerodura (dad has one, and i like it), poseidon unisuit (like the zip) or technica (2 friends got one)

any others worth a look for about £500??

Chris

<font color='#000080'>Whatever you do dont get a Seac Sub - CRAP of the lowest quality. &nbsp;2 zips, 2 sets of seals, 2 sets of valves (both) and 2 holes. &nbsp;All in just 104 dives!

I would go for the poseidon - very nice suits.

Look at Otter - they're obviously the best because it's what I use

Hi,

O'Three because the're fantastic, Aerdura because they are bullet proof.

Someday I'm going to hunt down all the people who claim their dive gear is bullet proof, and I'm going to shoot them.

Just to see if they're right

andyp, i think the aerodura is titanium technology not kevlar...

the o3 suits are nice, just a little pricey, thanks to diving doc, i missed the scubapro of the list of possibilities, but i like the neoprene scuabpro (spitzbergen or something). anyone any comments on that suit??

<font color='#728FCE'>Cthomas, the spitz is a fine suit for the £495 you pay. The only thing i dont like about it, and this is the same for all neoprene suits is the weight and inflexibility. But saying that good value for money

Get an Otter. I have an Ultimate and its a fantastic suit, and Otter/Diverswarehouse are brilliant and will give you a great customer service.

Well a Otter Brittanic might be a bit more than you were willing to spend but the Otter skin is an excellent suit for the money.

Oh by the way Dom is definitely right. &nbsp;They must be the best because I have one as well (but it's not bulletproof. OK Dom &nbsp; )
