Hi all:
First time here for myself and considering to try out freediving as a new sport.
For the past some years i have been into scuba and thought to try out something a little different. I have been reading up on all the different brands of wetsuits for freediving and thought i would go with the Picasso line . What i have seen in this forum the Picasso," Apnos Mimetic "would be a good basic suit for the money and a new diver.
A couple of question that i have is what type of rubber does Picasso use for their suits. I know it is Yamamoto, but is it # 39 or ?= Apnos.
Being new to freediving i seen so many different patterns on the wetsuit exterior. How does one go to pick out a certain color scheme. Is it important to one's area or terrain where diving?
One last question , i hear these suits are pretty stretchy. I was wondering if one should downsize from a large to a medium for fit or go with size chart of Picasso. "i'm hard to fit" usually i go with a large.
Any other thoughts or comments anyone have to help out would be aprreciated .
thanks all......
