Seac Sub v. DUI Rock Boots

Hi All,
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
I was wondering if anyone had tried the Seac Sub version of rock boot and if anyone had a direct comparison against the DUI version.
Given the Seac are less than 1/2 the price of the DUI version is it worth shelling out the extra £35 to get the DUI version or is this just an excercise in branding?
If there are other versions that I am not aware of then please shout out.
I have the DUI suit but not the boots so any information would be gratefully received.

Try the Typhoon Boot

Hi,
I have tried them both plus the Typhoon boot which is think is much better.

Rock boot is a bit stiff, plus over priced; however it has a good sole on it.

Seac Sub boot is ok but the sole is very thin and when walking around you can feel everything through it.

Typhoon boot is nice and flexible has a very good sole and is reasonably priced; however they do come up small so you would need to go up a few sizes. I am a size nine and went for a large which is a tad small.

Hope this helps

Kelvin

Have a look at these.

I've seen a few people using Apollo Rock Boots over here. They crap all over the DUI boots.

($AU1.00 = 42p approx.)

Hi Darren,
Can't seem to find any info on them, however I have posted a few pics on

.Mac Web Gallery

I will be adding these to eBay soon as they are to small for me. I brought them from the National Diving & Activity Centre a while ago and could not be bothered to take them back. Paid nearly £30 for them and they are great boots.
