I've recently taken up freediving and have no idea which wetsuit to go for. I'll be travelling to koh tao early/mid next year to do my advanced PADI and my 2* AIDA if I havn't done so already. Is there a wetsuit that is kind to both disciplines? I'm training at my local pool now each week just doing static and dynamics. I'd be doing very minimal if any lake or sea based dives in the UK up until I go travelling. Rather than buying 2 seperate suits if one would suffice for both would be great.
Just encase its relevant I'm 5 foot 8 and 154 pounds.

Completely nieve about any specifics of the wetsuit I may need so be kind! Beginner here :)

about £120 is my limit here as I wouldn't want to break the bank too much.. anything £100 or less would be nice though.

Thanks in advance for your responses!
 
for the uk 5mm would do you well for most of the year and you'd defiantly want a hood. tho it will be to hot for Thailand.
I'm not sure if the suit would overlap to scuba but i don't see why it wouldn't.
ps check this site out as well they do scuba suits as well
