I bought The Orca breath for Pool training 3 Weeks ago and so far it's amazing
But no way to put it on on your Self because you Cant close The Reverse zip by yourself
Maybe of you are super super flexible But idk.
There is coming a Bit water into it But it's only a small amount and i think with The Orca free it is a bit better and less water that Comes in.
I Would only recommende Both Suits for 25/27 C warm water Not lower

Before freediving specific suits existed ( I wasn't diving way back then) orca triathalon suits were the best option for deep diving in warm water.
Now you'd be better off with a 1.5 or 3mm smooth skin suit custom fitted from Elios or Oceaner. They don't have zippers so it will be more comfortable, you won't need help zipping up, and will not leak one bit. I'm pretty sure a custom Elios suit is a little cheaper as well.

Thanks Nathan, I actually tried a ROKA triathalon suit and experienced exactly what you describe. Ordered a 1.5 mm custom Elios. (I alos felt water coming in my back with the ROKA so not a perfect fit.)
Only just saw this for some reason. DB reviewed the Orca Free here: https://www.deeperblue.com/review-orca-free-2mm-freediving-wetsuit/
