custom made wetsuit for woman

[Julie Brunelle]

I started freediving this summer with scubadiving gear (ie: wetsuit).

That wetsuit is wearing out and I'll need a new one, especially if I want to do the freeze dive this winter.

Since I'm not "standard size" and more short and plus-size (5'3'', 215 lb) I was looking for a custom made suit, but I have some concern toward the exactitude of measurements. I had bad experiences with custom-made drysuit.

I dive mostly in quary, so, cold water, looking for a 5 mil suit.

where should I look? who have the more accurate measurment and what type of neoprene?

There are lots of different options most scuba suits use a crushed cell neoprene so they don't have the warmth of a freediving suit . your best bet is to do a bit more research there are many companies that can design ,answer and help you with your exact use . I personally find Elios and oceaner amazing companies . Two of the Best freedive suits I have worn . I dive in frigid Canadian pacific waters and they keeps me more than comfortable I would suggest 5 mm or a 6.5mm custom, linings depend on your use and Yamamoto neoprene as It Goes in grades . But do some more research for your self email a few companies explain your use and shop around best of luck.
