Advantages: Lightweight and flexible Disadvantages: None
As I feel the cold quite often when I'm diving I decided to invest in a cyberskin as I had read good reports about it in various dive magazines. I wasn't keen on buying a semi-dry to take abroad with me as I feel they can be cumbersome. I usually wear a 5mmGul Steamer but felt I needed some extra insulation.
The cyberskin is 0.5mm thick and extremely light. The material is silky and flexible and feels extremely comfortable. It comes in women's and men's sizes from small through to XXL and is £65. Although it is only 0.5mm thick it is equal in warmth to a 2mmwetsuit and can be used alone for diving in warmer waters. I bought an all in one with a back zipper but it is possible to purchase it as a separate top and bottoms. I had thought that it might be difficult to get my 5mmwetsuit over the top of it but in actual fact it made it ...
Sliver on the Inside!!
I bought a Silverskin a couple of years ago and never looked back since. I managed to negoctiate a price of £200 from a local dive shop.
The cuffs are great because you can fold them and fold them to get a good seal. Ankle cuffs are great for the same reason as is the neck.
The suit also drains very well from tthese cuffs, especially the Neck Cuff
There is a good horizontal zip on the back which makes it easy for self dis-robing or your "buddy" to help you out. I would recommend attaching a small pull cord to ease this process.
The Zip is very sturdy so if you do have a problem undoing it, pull it back to the beginning and start again.
Padded shoulders, elbows and knees are an added bonus as damage to previous wet-suits has been quite costly.
My suit is maunfactured from 90% Neoprene and 10 ...
Advantages: you have warmth Disadvantages: easy to grow out of, same price as a secondhand drysuit
therefore hiding most of your suit
There is a new silver lining that is designed to keep the wear warmer by heating up the water that is trapped inside the suit. It works, trust me. I had a wetsuit one year, did a dive in about 15 degrees at a lake, got on alright, rather cold though. Came back with the semidry, almost the same conditions and I was kept warm. Also whilst waiting on the side for the next dive the semidry kept me warmer and it was less prone to feeling the cold.
As with all semidry suits they can be expensive and, if you are still growing then it can be a costly investment. However I have dived in the winter, bout 9 degrees water temp and about 8 degrees air temp, and the suit kept me warm. I could undress in stages, rather than have to take it all of and freeze. On saying that, if you waited and saved up about a hundred ...
