  • Spearfishing wetsuits by Speardiver

    Just got the suit in on Fri. Tested it out this weekend. :D


    Suit looks great. Nice color combo. I think the Sombra looks better in person.


    Shipping/ Packaging: From the date of the order the suit came very quickly. Suit was packed well (maybe too well? more on this later). Suit came packed in a plastic film with a layer of air pouches on top, enclosed in a standard brown box. Dan was also thoughtful to include a little something extra for my knife based on prior discussion.


    Ease of use: Lubed with a conditioner:water solution, the suit slips on fine.


    Sizing: The sizing is spot-on.


    Comfort: It is very flexible and doesn't cause any strain. Movement does not feel restricted. The suit seals well around the chest, head, neck, back etc. The suit seals so well around the face that water had to be let into ears to equalize.

    I'm somewhat of a newbie myself. I haven't done any local hunting yet, but plan to start this summer. I've been traveling to do all my hunting. I have a black 3mm Pursuit suit that I was wearing when I got rolled by a wave into some sharp rocks in Costa Rica in April.


    Sounds good man. Let me know if you make it out to Long Island... Hopefully I will have a suit by then :confused2:


    speaking of....



    Does anyone have an idea at what depth the Pursuit suits will compress?


    Also, when are the 5mm suits coming in stock?? I've been looking for a while but haven't seen anything available in my size (small). I read that they would be in stock by the end of last month. I hope they come in soon. I'm also looking into float lines.

    Thanks again for the help. Also when will I be able to PM people?

    Welcome. You're doing well by starting with a pole spear. It's what I did until I was confident that I wouldn't kill anybody with a gun. I can attest to the quality and durability of the Pursuit wetsuits, having been tossed over some sharp rocks with one on.


    Thanks, where do u hunt? what mm suit are u using?

    Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum. The only reason I joined this place was to gain access to the bikini thread. :thumbsup2: Now that I'm a member this will probably be my first and only post.


    ....I'm only kidding although the bikini thread was good incentive. On a more serious note. I have been lurking the forums for quite some time just reading threads and trying to learn. I found this forum upon recommendation from Don Paul. (nice guy) .. he gave me a call a few weeks ago to tell me about some equipment I was interested in and we ended up talking about this forum. I'm glad he led me here. I appreciate the research everyone does here. There is a definite quality vs quantity vibe.


    I'm very new to spearing and I am still learning. I'm from Long Island, NY. So if anyone is interested in taking a newb with them feel free to let me know. I was also able to get six of my friends interested in the sport so I might be able to get some people to tag along.


    As of now we have Ray Odor pole spears (yes yes i know, Dan, it's slow and heavy) from my research I'm hoping it will fair well in LI waters (low vis, rocky, smaller fish). We are all trying to start slowly and learn the right way of spearing. We are all on a tight budget so I'm on the hunt for good affordable equipment. Which brings me to my next subject. We are in the market for wetsuits. I read a lot about the Pursuit wetsuits but I want to know more such as, what type of Sheico rubber the Pursuit wetsuits use? I'm also curious to know how the Pursuit wetsuits compare to the Mako Yamamoto wetsuits? (construction, quality, fit, durability, customer service, warranty etc etc)... If anyone can give me any feedback on this it would be much appreciated.


    Thanks again for having me. I look forward to hearing from everyone and reading your threads.


    Best regards,
    Tred
