I Just got a Weezle Extreem I have done 5 dives and it's up for sale.

Why?

It needs a lot of air to work eficiently and my old Thinsulate did not.

It is quite floaty, I neded to ad a bit of weight using singles

It cloged the auto dump

All in all I didnt like it.

I think bassed on my experaince with a Thinsulate and a Weezel that a Thinsulate gives better thermal quality with less air in the suit.

I dont understand the exact science of this but the realiaty is aparent. You need a lot of air in the suit to make a Weezel work you do NOT need a lot of air to mae a Thinsulate work.

No axe to grind. infact prety Pi#sed off wasteing £130 on the new undersuit. Now looking at PX for Fourth Element Thermocline Tec base layour and dusting off the Thinsulate.

Hey I am THE Numpty diver I dont know what I am talking about. The undersuit is fantastic honist!!! I am only selling it because I am so undeserving of such top quality kit.

(how was that?)

Size Medium

Which is odd coz:

I am 5'10' 14 stone 42" chest and 34 waste, 30" inside leg
blond, blue eyes Gemini...........

WHOOPS WRONG FORUM

No seriously these are my sizes. The suit is a Wezel Extreem colour dark blue / black ish with bag. I paid £129
four weeks ago so I would like £100. It has done 4 dives.

Totaly agree I dont want to remove weight at depth and would atempt any and all meens of avoiding this. With my rig the removal of lead is not an option so it would meen ditching tourch canister to gain 2kg and then its only stages and you dont want to be dumping them now do you?  

My SMB is a auto gas fill job and you can winch your self up on it. I know I have tryed. Not in anger I should point out just as practice.

Curiously I was diving with Andrew at Stony on Wed and I did shut downs and stage removal. My 7ltr Faber (OMS) steel with 100 bar 85% 02in it was perfictly neutrol
I took it off and held it by the top bolt snap and it floated tail in the air at 45 deg. Strange coz I expected it to still be negitive with 100 bar in it.

All good fun

Wow as speculation goes thats prety informed M8

Ok I was holding the kneck bolt snap so it didnt float away and the tank was floating above the bolt snap at 45 deg. So I think the tank was apx neutrol or slightly boyent which I would expect at empty but I was surprised to see it like that with 100 bar of 85% 02 in.
