Hello to all! I am from New Jersey and I am new to freediving, so new in fact I dont even own a wetsuit. I have only snorkled a bunch of times. I can hold my breath for 3 minutes, which I am told is a good start. Now to step it up a notch. I am interested in the Cressi camo suits but have never put a wet suit on. What is the correct fit for me: 5' 8.5", 172lbs, 32" waist, 38-40 chest, based on the Cressi size charts I am a tweener in the 3-4 range. Any advise? dive shops are pretty far from me that would carry this suit. Do they run big or small? etc. Much appreciated.
 
Try leisure pro in NYC for great selection and local stuff for fins, masks, snorkels, etc.

For a wetsuit, I doubt you'll beat a custom (camo available) suit from aqualand in Greece. The prices are great and a custom fit is unlike an off-the-rack one. It fits perfectly, everywhere!
 
If my need for no bubbles takes me all the way to Greece I will definately upgrade to a custom! I do own Cressi Gara 3000 fins, Cressi mask and snorkle. I have been going to local YMCA pool to work out in the fins and get comfortable having them on all the time. I actually purchased all from leisure pro on-line. Do you think a 4 would be to big?
