Elios and Diveskin suits both seem to be very popular among the DeeperBlue members and I don't think you'll go wrong with any of them. I recently received 2 new custom made suits from Elios: a 7mm meshskin/benthos and 5mm black shadow. Both have open cell inside. I also have an older (3-4 years of use) 7mm meshskin that has gotten too big for me (I have gotten smaller, the suit has stayed the same). I'm very happy with the fit of the new suits, especially the 5mm. I have only donned the new suits and not been in the water with them, but judging from my experience with the old suit I have no doubt they'll serve their purpose well.

Ocaner is best suit I ever had, but very fragille, Elios is also very good even cheapest ecoline, Diveskin (Oceanos) is not so good, but it is very good value for the price (I have one 5mil for static and ice/fresh water diving) very warm, but a bit hard. could be good for speerfishing
Thanks a lot for your feedback guys. I've decided to go with the ever popular Elios suits. Now I need to make a decision from the recommendations that were made.
Which one of the two do you feel is most appropriate for lake diving (Lac Leman/Genev Lake) ?
Kanoko lining sounds really good. HAve any of you used it?
2) Suit 5mm New Black coating cell inside / Nylon elastic Black outside
Neoprene Heiwa Price Euro 238,00 (see photo 0132) This is the Top-model for
freediving, very elastic, warmth, adherent to the body, durable with lining
outside and good also for deep diving, but also very slippery to get into.
4) Suit 5mm open cell inside / Kanoko superstetch antitears outside Black
Neoprene Heiwa soft Price Euro 218,00 It's an ultra-soft rubber,
super-stretch, very very comfortable and very very durable with kanoko
reinforced lining outside, but for get into must use always talcum or
water-soap.
Thanks guys, you rock!!!!
