Re: Open-cell for scuba?

Hi,
I use a Cressi Technica 5mm open cell spearfishing suit in the summer when scuba diving in the UK - and its great! The main benifit I noticed was massivly increased flexibility and warmth. It insulates so much better than my (thicker) semi-dry suit - I think thats down to a really good tight fit. I have noticed that its started to 'bobble' the outer layer on the shoulders and around the waist - but thats after a couple of seasons of fairly heavy use - there's tons of life left in it.
Cheers,
Ed
