The most thrilling drysuit ever that shall get your eye..

[J Mc]

I'm not sick of drysuit personally,
but this guy really gave me a thrill and raised my jealousy!
Many of my dive buds got turned on when I showed each of them this photo and would consider get one like that.
So may I ask anyone who knows what kind of drysuit this is to share with us where to buy one of those?
I've tried craglist ebay amazon etc. but no luck.. but that's a drysuit that's distinctive enough, and shan't be hard to find, I don't know why Google cannot recognise it. Key words I tried, green rubber drysuits, and I even tried search by image/image recognition.

My first thought was that this drysuit was a replica Aquala chest-entry suit, but the hood and the wrist cuffs do not match the specifications:

​

The drysuit in the image MAY be the dark-green version of the So Lo Marx Skooba-"totes" model. These suits were last manufactured in the mid-1960s by the Loveland, Ohio, company that became Totes-Isotoner.

Here is an entry from the 1966 Submarine Products catalogue, which imported the Skooba-"totes" from the USA to the UK for British purchasers to use as a budget diving suit:

I own a "safety-yellow" version of the Skooba-"totes" called the "Golden Tiger" in historical publicity:

I have used it while snorkelling in the North Sea off the coast of North East England. The suit had the virtue of simplicity, its thin material worn over warm underclothing not only reducing body heat loss but also raising fewer obstacles to swimming movements.

A modern replica of the Skooba-"totes" has been around for a number of years made by Hydroglove suits (see below). Although this suit has always been available in black, a green version was manufactured for a short while. This is another possible identification of the suit you are showcasing.

​

A final thought is that the suit MAY have been a home-made design.
