Hi,
I have been spearfishing/free diving for for many years now. I have always bought “real” free diving suits, as in open cell, two piece and so on. I have owned quite a few, from elios, Cressi and Omer.
Now that I have a kid, in the summer we go to the beach for the sake of going to the beach. Last summer I borrowed a wetsuit made for surfing. It was such a joy, no soapy water or anything, not much lead needed.
Now for the question: I want to buy a wetsuit for casual shore spearfishing, shallow waters (1-8m), summertime (15-20c water temp). What should I get?
I have been toying with the idea of a lined classic wetsuit, something like an elios mesh skin lined. Or maybe if one could get a one piece scuba wetsuit without any pads.
I am open for ideas, hope somebody has some, or have experience with something similar.
Thanks,
Thorbjørn
