Wetsuit Recomendations

[chaneym]

Well I just ordered a new wetsuit from diveskin and I've got to say the customer service there is outstanding. Every question I had he responded to almost immediatley and was extremely helpful when it came to making sure I ordered exactly what I needed. I'll post a follow up once it arrives but so far based off the price/customer service I would highly reccommend them for anyone just getting into freediving.

I hope that the cut on yours iss better than mine was. The suit was cheap, and the cut job was the reason why- I'll never buy another one.

Jon I will just come out to Wisconsin and wear your Elios suit for a few dives so that I know what it is like to be an upper class free diver. :t

Freedive-A-Palooza is July 14 and 15. Come out and join us and I'll let you wear any suit, fin, or mask I own. :friday


BTW: Spiros did offer to give me my money back IF I shipped the suit back to him. I thought about it, since I was so dissapointed, but the shipping cost here and back was more than half the price of the suit itself so I just kept it- until I sold it to Jimdoe2you. You can ask Jim what he thought of the suit.

Check out this page on the Elios site: Free diving - Apnea

New line of wetsuits mainly dedicated to apnea (dynamic and static).

These models are the result of our cooperation with
the best free-divers of the last years (Carlos Coste, Sebastian Murat,
Topi Lintukangas, etc.), they are made with the best materials
available on the market (Heiwa, Yamamoto 45, Misuzu, Rubatex,
Sheico, Dan yu, etc.), and are specifically designed
also for divings with monofin (arms straight over
the head and body stretched).

From what I saw from the link in Jon's post, none of these suits are made in camo. Why can't a freediving wetsuit that is designed for "arms up" diving be made in camo? If there is one, I have yet to find it on the web.

Elios will do anything - no problem. My next suit will be arms up and camo.

My next suit will be arms up and camo.

That just sounds like you are planning on being caught robbing a bank at night or something.

Jon: it is not fair to invite me to the Freedive-A-Palooza, I have to be in Utah the weekend before for a friends wedding so all of my petty cash will be spent. Maybe Fondueset will invite me along on his robbery and I can make some extra cash on the side....

 

[Fondueset]

Naw - I'm going to rob a bank then just stand outside disguised as a tree while the cops go right on by. (only way I can afford all these freakin wetsuits)

I have a custom Elios, & have not noticed any infiltration with arms forward or at my side. LOVE it! Been on 1st Ice dive, & have been in the water a few times this year...3 when there was still ice on the water around me!...works great! 5mm open cell inner, camo nylon outer. 3 fingered gloves & 5mm socks.
