Hi everyone,
Thanks for your replies. I ended up getting the 3.5mm cressi world competition. I chose it over the apnos because of the reinforcements around the kneees and elbows (I usually spear around sharp rocks). Also there were a few comments floating around the internet about the apnos having funny seams and I didn't want to bother with fixing a wetsuit here in Egypt. The wetsuit came and looks fine. I actually got it because i've been wanting something thinner than my 5mm because i hate having to carry so much lead. Marwan, I'm one of those people who have no problem wearing a 5 mm in the summer... ba7eb el dafa ya m3allem. I'm glad I didn't go for the Beuchat, it seemed from the picture that it wasn't open cell inside.
Jim, I just can't get myself to think Elios. Cressi off-the-rack suits fit me OK and I don't feel the kind (and frequency) of diving I do warrants such a suit (and investment). By the way, do you know how much a custom basic open cell inside nylon outiside elios suit goes for? (Hey, if I plan in advance I might just deserve one by sometime next year

).
Good spearing and safe diving guys. Marwan, kol sana winta tayeb.
