Hey guys.
I know scuba wetsuits are very different from freediving/spearfishing wetsuits. But does it really make a huge difference, even for begginers?
I am planning to buy a wetsuit for spearfishing and freediving. I found one in very good conditions (used twice only) for an awesome price. The problem is that I think it is a scuba diving wetsuit. But as I am in a very tight budget, I am feeling very inclined to buy it...
The wetsuit is this one (7mm model):

Some extra info:
I live in Sydney, and even though most people wouldn't use a 7mm here, I am VERY sensitive to cold water. And this has a great impact in my performance... So I think buying a wetsuit that will keep me warm is way more important than getting a flexible one (of course, having both would be ideal, but I haven't find any with my budget).
What do you guys think? Is it ok to use a scuba diving wetsuit if you are just a begginer? What would the main cons be?
Also, has anyone used the W1 Waterproof Wetsuit and have any thoughts on it?
Thanks a lot!
