Hi,

Having looked at dozens of websites with freediving and spearfishing equipment, I can't really find freediving wetsuits for women.

Should I just go with a "normal" one, or try men's suits, which probably won't fit very well, since the bits where my species has a bit more volume will probably be too tight?

I'm also relatively tall (5.9") and wearing something like a UK size 12/14.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Cheers.

Custom made would be the best option - and in that case I'd go for Elios

I wouldn't go with male suit if you have a typically female body type

Alternatively for a cheap off the rack option - I have used spetton female spearfishing suits and they seem ok

I second that.

For the price you pay for made to measure you will get a mens scuba suit that doesn't fit.

Just google Elios wetsuits and then search the old threads to see what materials you need

spearo.co.uk sell them in the UK

Hiya,

The French brand Dessault also have some options for women, check out this link:

Thanks for the Tips! I'll get a custom made one then.
