Well after freezing in my surf suit, I splurged and got myself a freediving suit. I got the Cressi Technica 5mm 2010. I got it off of scubastore.com and the worst part was shipping, as it was international from Spain ($50). Luckily I timed it right and got it for $197, because the euro had dropped when the order went through. It came via DHL three days later and I dove in it for the next four days in a row! :thumbsup2:
I love the camo pattern and the black titanium is extremely easy to get into. Although this is my first dive suit, I have tried a picasso, and the fit was way off. I'm a tall skinny guy (6'1 and 165) and I got the large and it fits me very well. I like my ankles and wrists a bit higher up than most though. The size chart had said to go with a XL due to my height, but I wasn't anywhere close to the weight.. The only thing I don't like is the flap that goes over the chin is too long and will need to be trimmed down so it doesn't flood during a Nor Cal dive. You can kind of see it in the 3rd picture.
Although the suit is new, it is holding up very well, even after taking a beating in a 10ft inflateable going into 30mph wind, and taking a tumble while walking down a cliff for a dive, I wish my hand handled it as well (spearstuff was there).
Getting ready to go over the side of the boat. Definitely not a photogenic person in dive gear:rolleyes1:
