Brace yourself, I guarantee that Scubee and Scuttler will be along any second to tell you how absolutely wonderful they are. I dive a membrane Seaskin but I will admit (just between you and me) that the O three suits look lovely, I've never heard anyone say anything bad about them. Scubee and Scutler of course will only say good things but in general they are quite nice peeps, not on commission and fairly trustworthy.

Pete... am i that predictable?

They are lovely. So lovely, I am on to my second - I has the MSF 500, and now am onto the Ri 2/100 for no other reason that I needed a bit more flexibility.

They will make a dry suit that does what it says - keeps you dry. The only time I got a bit damp was when the zip broke, which they fixed with nor problem, and they lent me a suit while the work was done.

Othree are excellent for customer service.

(p.s. I have my other one which may be up for sale if you are interested - red/ black, would fit size 12, size 5 feet, and about 5'5 height)

Over to you, Scuttler

They really are a good suit, they wear very well, Ive mine 5 years now and its been dragged over rocks, through wrecks and caves and still in great nick, like all suits, you might get an issue, but Ive found apart from my own neglect (inflator valve loosened and I was given a nice bath at 40m's!) it has served me well. Im planning to get an R1 fronty entry soon, as I think their customer support is next to none and Ive bought other bits over the years and they take care of you with P&P and such.

You rang

I can't add much that hasn't already been said.

I spent 2 years hiring various suits and 6 years in a Hydrotech Membrane suit and finally moved to the Ri2/100 in 2006. I haven't looked back. I've never had a suit as dry. Mine was a custom suit and they spent a good couple of hours measuring me, going through the various options, listening to my requirements and proposing a solution that they felt best.

On the fit check they listened to my feedback and took those points on board.

In the end they provided me with a suit that I can happily say is the best I've ever used and the best I've seen.

Worth every penny!

My experience with O3

Great drysuit - had it for about a year now and no problems. Very comfy. also, they don't try and sell you the most expensive, just the one that is best for you. I went in expecting to buy a custom made one, but they showed me that one off the shelf was spot on for me. Saved me some £££.

After sales service - fantastic.

Here you go then. O' three string Pockets fitted to my Ri2 drysuit fell to bits in just over a year. O'three told me not to put things in them and they will be fine.
