Hi jwells, It was probably a cuttle fish that took a bite out of your sole. Glad to see you finally got out there, well done.

The new cammo from Elios looks like it'll work really well around the Marina/Rottingdean area, I'm going for a 5mm open cell. You can see it here if you scroll to the bottom of the page to new camo : News

The lining itself is quite durable. The outside of the suit is lined and very durable. I think the Black Shadow comes into its own in thicker material i,e 6mm is obviously less flexible than 5mm or 3mm.

hey captain j yeah i went again today at the marina again, vis was good 3 -4 meters in places but dropped further out to about 2 meters. caught nothing and saw nothing apart from a shoal of smelt and a small shoal of whitebait. was a nice day though and enjoyed it,
i am thinking of getting up super early tommorow morning and going in for a bit before the wind picks up if its possible. oh and captain j your new suit looks really nice, josh

Well, I couldn't wait any longer to get my new gear wet so i went in. Vis was crap, no fish seen, couldn't see the end of my gun most of the time. Only a shore dive but i'm glad i went. 9degrees C and i didn't feel the water through the suit at all thanks to Elios

haha i told you spear4food, my omer suit was sooo warm today i did not even get any water in it haha. well done for getting in though spear4food, still a bit early but keep going and you will start to see the fish!
winds picking up for a couple of days tommorow thats why i am going early hopefully. but its calming down again next tuesday/wednesday so thats good, lets just hope these few days of wind dont stir the sea up to much!

It was only a suit and weight test off Worthing beach Josh, however, I didn't expect the water to be that mucky and hoped to bring back my tea in the bargin. Next time it'll be different i'm sure.

cool, just out of interest how much weight are you using to get yourself balanced?

Mongrel454, There are a few elements to the type of diving you do before choosing a new suit, are you in and out of a boat searching for grounds to fish, in which case you may want a smoothskin outer as it stays dryer and the wind doesn't cool you down whilst travelling in the boat but the suit is more delicate to put on or diving around sharp terrain without nylon linings but open cell are warmer all round but that might not be a problem for you where you dive. I have scuba dived for years with a lined suit and had used it for spearo until yesterday, all i can say is never again! The taylor made Elios suits are excellent! If you really don't want to lube up before you put the suit on then you would probably have to go for a lined inner suit. Good luck

Jwells, you will always need a little more weight in the shallows than deeper waters, be careful not to over do it or you could be negative buoyant at the surface and struggle to stay afloat to breathe
