Finally got one

Well after all the bravado of diving in his wetsuit for 18 months, Arfie finally got his Seaskin today, and had to try it on at home. We are looking forward to getting it wet over the bank holiday weekend, blue lagoon sat and capers on the Monday. Sorry about the fogged lens, I think that was all the heat coming off him as I'm guessing he couldn't resist trying it on without his undersuit as well.

That was taken on my phone and i didn't realise how mingin the lense was Now I've seen it there's no way I'm putting it all back on again to take another pic, the suit, arctics and hood was a bit much for a fat lad on a warm afternoon.

I'm very happy with it, though it is in the wrong colours, I ordered it in black and blue, but I got all black. But I'm not fussed fortunately and at least we wont look like a team as Endoman and Secondopsman have both got balck/blue

Can't wait to try it out on Saturday.

welcome to the club, looks a bit baggy, do you need an undersuit or just some extra weight?
They are great aren't they?

There's plenty of him underneath there, it actually has a slimming effect if that's possible. He needs no more additional bioprene I can assure you.

I think the Seaskins tend to be looser in the top half for mobility and tight in the bottom half. Our diving over the weekend will tell all, I'll try and remember the camera.

I thought it was a little roomy on top, even with the arctics on, but Endoman assured me it's OK.

There is no danger of me slipping down the dark slope my "skills" ensure that

Top skill being able to lose a buddy at 2 feet. Somehow we are both very good at that
The impressive bit was the refinding in 3 feet !!
