Advice on wetsuit for New England use

[Emery]

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and getting myself into spearfishing. I live in Massachusetts, and am looking for advice on choosing a wetsuit for use in late spring and fall. Thanks

5mm, open cell inside, nylon / Lycra lined outside.

This is also the same basic recipe for a Spearfishing suit, except they usually have a gun loading pad on the chest and knee pads.

I always suggest aqualandwetsuits.com (Greek company), because they are custom made and inexpensive.

Thank you very much apneaaddict

I'm assuming you mean in the Atlantic ocean... And not some shallow, warm lake, which might warrant a thinner 3mm suit.

Yeah I'm coastal. Nantucket sound, Narraganset Rhode Island and the north shore of Massachusetts

Can I recommend a 5 mm MAKO Freedive suit in camo?
