Rash guard / suit

To prevent sunburn a simple lycra rash guard will work. If you want a little protection from coral and jellyfish then a lined 1.5 mil neoprene shirt would be what you want. I wear a shirt and the scrapes on it will more than attest to its usefulness. That being said Ill probably get a lycra shirt this summer for the really hot days.

Thread moved to the wetsuit section.

Here in Miami area rashguard for the summer. For winter diving a 3mm 2 piece open cell inside, lined outside wetsuit.

Solid aluminum pole spears are too slow.

I'd have to agree. I want to try a 9ft gat-ku for down here.

I have a eight ft. Nine w the flopper. Anytime you want to borrow it just hollar

odors are slow but I got by with mine just fine, when your in the area I can let you try it out. for the price I dont think it can be beat.

i wear a wetsuit most months of the year, probably spare june july august and september.
in the summer i like just a neoprene vest (to aspetto without getting stung or scraped on the chest) and id really like to find a good alternative to boardshorts for the hottest months, i wish they made wetsuit shorts.

anyways itd be worth gettin a 3 mil suit and pursuit's are best deal with no compromise to quality

You can get neoprene shorts. I know Omer and Beuchat make them. I'm pretty sure you can get them in camo, too.

What do you not like about board shorts?
Im outfitting myself currently, so I have no opinion based on actual use.

thanks nyspear im going to check that out now, thats exacly what i was referring to.
mark- i dont like board shorts because the material (and i own at least 15 diff. pairs and they all do this) puts a rash directly behind the knee on my leg from all the surface swimming. if im only diving for a couple hours its not too noticable, though. also they are jsut overall not streamline iin the water. its a somewhat minor detail but i notice.

you can also look into the under armor leggings, basically lycra pants. or get some shorter shorts. Have you tried the pelagic shorts? I love them. They are lighter and shorter than most shorts.

sdeisen - click this link and you'll see a bunch of options on the first page.

Neoprene shorts

I know these guys get mixed reviews, but it looks like you're local to them, so that shouldn't be an issue.

I think Steven will have to go custom with shorts too

yeah, but im nowhere near 80 years old and european enough to wear a speedo
