Skinsuit Ideas

[lettemgo]

While diving in Eleuthera I've been stung more than once by coral. Especially when a fish is wedged in a hole and fire coral is floating right in front of the hole . I thought maybe a light full body wetsuit would stop this problem. The water is warm in the mid 70s so not to much thickness, maybe 2-mil at the most. I want something easy to put on and off as we jump from head to head. Any sugestions. Thanks Kevin

Riffe makes a 1 mil suit, long or short pants, hood or not. Very easy to doff and don. They are a little pricey, but the quality is very good. Works great for what you are doing. Unirdna discovered this one and I've had mine for a couple of years, use it in the pool for apnea practice as well as real diving. Very useful. To get one, try Jimdoe2you, or if he doesn't carry it, Florida Freedivers.

Beuchat 1.5 mm reversible is a 2 piece full suit and cheap

I don't have the Riffe suit, but I do have the Beuchat 1.5mm reversible. Very nice suit for pool or warm water. I've spent an hour in 16C water in it too so it handles coolish water fairly well also.

Cheers,

Thanks to all. Still in the process of deciding, the Florida Freedivers site has a big selection but not much on the descriptions. Any other sites I can order from?

PM Jimdoe2you or see his website The Freediving Store. He has more stuff not on the web. By far the best service, and probably price, for what you are looking for.

Oh, that's what you meant. I was hoping more in the lines of Silence of the Lambs and Eric's animal fat suit
