Re: Starter Kit Advice

Depending on your body type you may need to have a custom wet suit made. I would try some off-the-peg suits and see if any fit you well. If they don't then you're best off getting measured up for one. Nothing is worse than an uncomfortable or even painful wet suit. I'm a pretty standard size/shape and bought a sporasub suit off the peg and was happy with the fit, but I've read a lot of threads by very seasoned divers who've gone the custom route and swear by it. Just like masks or fins NEVER buy anything you can't try on first. I've been there, done that, and paid for it. As for fins and masks there are tons of threads on them. If you have a narrow foot cressi makes some great fins for really cheap prices. Check out leisurepro.com. If you have a wider foot Omer makes a comfy footpocket. I'm not sure about other companies or monofins as I only have personal experience with cressi and omer, but there are lots of threads on fins out there for you. Good Luck Shopping.
