Don't you bl**dy start!

maybe made to measure is the answer or alternatively layer using things like that Thermocline Top I was wearing in Galapagos. It really added warmth without being too bulky.

Chances are that an off the peg suit that fits round the bum is going to bit a tight round the lungs for you babe. We all just wish we had the same problem!

I can't believe that my 'Wing ... I don't know what to do' thread, has reached page four and no-one has mentioned Bs+Bs or certain club nights

So, back to the matter in hand ...... where do I get an extremely warm, flexible wetsuit - I fly on April 12th

Try Slough Scuba, Gary has some very stretchy RalfTech suits that might be stretchy enough to work round your bulges

[windymiller]

It s a bit up in price but have you thought about the whites fusion drysuit?

Its basically a tea bag with a lycra covering to hold in the excess material..

Its self donning; zip across the front of the shoulders and is very neat.

I got one last year and no wetsuit can even come close to the level of flexibility it offers...And its alot easier to get on!!

Dont do it


My wife is also mega slim and gets cold in about 20mins usig a 5mm Semi Dry in 22c water. 40mins shes shivering.

Get a light weight MtM membrain suit like the one I got from Hammond. it comes in at 2Kg so excelent for travel then opt for neopreen neck seel and neopreen wrist seels that just wont fail.


I dive and 03 in the UK and its great but at 8Kg its useless for travel.

If you want a wetsuit or semi dry, it's a sad fact of life that they are a struggle to put on, especially when damp.

My solution is 3 layers... a 3mm neoprene swim suit (Awoon)
a 5-4-3 full surfing suit which gives lots of freedom and pretty easy to get on and a Ralf Teck shorty over the top. This gives me 10mm of neoprene on my body. And I wear a hood some of the time even in 25 degrees + water.

Mind you, as most will tell you, I don't coordinate and usually look a mess in full gear.

Anything less than 23 degrees, I'd use my membrane DS or end up shivering after 15 mins.

Where are you going? A lot of places, boat crew are more than happy to help nice young ladies get into their kit.

I am always very cold due to to a lack of Bioprene.
After 20 years I finally found a wetsuit that sort of fits, but thats party because good modern neoprene seems to do a two way stretch

I got a "Waterproof" 7mm streamer which I used with a 5mm shortee and a 2mm vest +hood for diving in the red sea in winter (when another diver on the boat was just in a tshirt...). I was lucky that the son of the owner was also lanky so they have an extra all medium size (apparently 70kg 6ft4 is not a standard british Diver build). This lot was as about as heavy as my drysuit, but les stressful on a liveaboard.

At a dive show , I tried to get made to measure and only 2 companies said they could do it, but they could not quote a prices but "300 plus" was their stimae - I was tempted to use the internet and just send measurements to thailand.
