Hi, I know it's a popular question here but could you please help me choosing the materials for my first apnea wetsuit? I will be using my wetsuit for deep diving, recently hit 45 m (still with my old scuba dive wetsuit), diving mostly in Canary Islands (temp. 17-25 celsius degrees) . I am now going to dahab and would like to progress and go a bit deeper
After a research I have a few options:

1) open cell inside // smooth skin outside Heiwa medium density

2) open cell inside superplastic lining // smoothsking outside Heiwa medium density

I was also considering HI PERFORM YAMAMOTO FREEDOWN but then thought maybe it's a bit too pricey for my first wetsuit.

What would be the alternatives for the outside lining? I guess Nylon Stretch outside is not the best choice for deeper dives?

I'm confused...;) Would appreciate any comments!

Thanks!
