I got mine from RobinHood Watersports, they do a good mail order service, but to be honest I'm glad I went to their shop as the suit I thought I wanted I didn't like when I tried it on, didn't fit at all, I ended up with a suit I hadn't even considered before trying it on! it's a lot of dosh n you want to be comfortable in it, maybe all day long, it's worth the effort to try before you buy, but that's only me, wot do I know, nowt

There seems to be a theme about crewsaver and sitting down must be a German thing

I bought a second hand dry suit from a local dive school .he had all sizes so even had one to fit me.really tough suit with proper boots .only problem is no pee hatch and is heavy to wear.might be a cheap option for you if a school local to you is replacing theirs.i paid £100

Sent from my GT-S5830 using Rib.net

I had a drysuit, but didn't like it, felt like the michelin man when wearing it.



I'm going to go down the Kayakkers route with waterproof bib and brace with fitted socks and a Cag top.

If its owing to the air trapped inside its best to bend your knees & do a quick squat to vent excess air out before closing the zip fully or you can pull the neck seal open with a finger , having too much air inside can cause buoyancy & movement problems .

also if air is trapped, when you do enter the water, the air escaping opens up the neck seal and lets a little water in. release the air and you wont have any problems. oh and i always have fitted latex socks - one less place for water to get in.
