Wetsuit and hood wanted

[Paul]

Hi guys, I'm in need of a wetsuit used or new and a hood for diving this winter. Florida is experiencing some extremely cold temperatures right now. Some cities have reported temps below 70 degrees at night. I'm thinking a 5mm or 7mm. Size matters so I've heard. I'd like it to fit well so if you have a similar build and it worked for you it should work for me. I'm 5'10'' 170lbs.

Go with a custom suit. I just had one made from Otter Bay in Monterey you can do your own measurements. Great company. Been around a long time.

I think you are just a sissy and should probably stop diving if you can't handle a little cold water, Paùl.

70 degree water! Luxury!

Round here we regularly have to dive about 43 degree water in a wetsuit cos the caves too tight for a drysuit!

Think Id be diving 70 degrees in the nude!

Seriously though, 5mm should be plenty for this kind of temperatures. Maybe a 3mm if you're a warm person.

I wear a 1 mil shorty on deep wrecks in Florida. 60+ min run times but hey I have a xxl mares flexa 8.6.5. I'm 195lbs and it's still a little tight. I'm asking $150 shipped

I have a 5m wetsuit and a hood. The wetsuit is an Oceanic and in excellent condition. I dive a dry suit year round. I will be at DEMA in Orlando from the 4th thru the 7th. If interested send me a PM. I am 5ft 11 and weigh 166 lbs. It should fit you very well.

I used to dive quite a bit in the PNW. Dive all sorts of places from Oregon up to Alaska. I hear you on the cold water. Similar temps.

When I moved to Florida, I sold all my drysuits because why would I ever need them in FL?

Amazing how the body adjusts. Been through three different dry suits now.


PS Haven't heard "Luxury!" used that way since Monty Python... Love it.

PM me if you are still on the hunt for a wetsuit that will fit you.
