Advantages: Ease of movement, warm, Disadvantages: Not for the winter,
I bought this wetsuit in the sale in january when a lot of shops and websites seemed to be gettin rid of last years stock. However, i was not interested in the design so much of the wetsuit as the price and the features. Although having said that I think that this wetsuit looks particulary stylish. I went for the black/blue/grey design. It is mainly black apart from having grey on the lower half of the arm and down the sides, with blue on the top half of the arm and around the back. It also has Smooth skin 5mm chest and back panels to eliminate wind chill.

I will admit I have only used this suit a few times but have been very impressed. I have found it very warm, and very easy to move in the suit. The suit has G-Flex shoulder panels which give excellent flexibility as well as having pre-bend limbs. The suit ...
Advantages: Full protection for your body.Outstanding value for money Disadvantages: Only suitable really for warm water diving
MARES Tropic 3MMWetsuit.
I am a warm water diver and decided it was about time I invested in a full wetsuit. Being female although a fairly normal 12-14 size in clothing but obviously having curves decided to follow one of the things I learnt in my PADI Open Water course and that comfort and fit were highly important so decided I should "try before I buy" so decided buying on the internet was not an option.
Where Purchased From And Cost.
I bought this suit at LIDS (London International Dive Show) last year at a cost of £40 which I thought was a real bargain.
Why I Chose This Wetsuit.
I really wanted the ScubaPro 5mmwetsuit but on trying it on it didn't fit well under the arms and it was really difficult to get on. I tried on another wetsuit of a different make but again didn't fit very well although it was a nice girly ...
Advantages: warm enough, comfy Disadvantages: the colour scheme isnt to my taste
No surprises here but I like to scuba dive, sadly for me a good 90% of my dives these days are working with students and of those over half are in the local pool when assisting on confined water dives or conducting the Discover Scuba program (try dives to the rest of the world). So for me a good quality wetsuit is essential as in the pool I would look slightly ridiculous in a dry suit and it doesnt look overly professional for me to be bimbling about cellulite on display in my bikini.
My original shorty suit cost me less than £30 over 6 years ago and is currently developing holes in the shoulders so time to invest in a new one. I have to admit my choices of suit to walk in to my LDS to just pick up and walk away with were limited to the Mares range or Cressi, but after trying on several other suits at other shops I settled ...
