    Thanks for the help guys. I already have booties for my volos that are 5 mm but I dont think they'll fit because they're pretty thick and have a thick sole.

    I don't know what kind of water temp you are in but I freedive in B.C. so it's pretty cold. I use a J-type oneil and what I like about it is that it has a a 6mm core so theres a vest inside and then 3mm every where else and I zip my inside hood flap in. If you looking for one with a built in...

    Going it alone?

    Hi, I would suggest making a dive flag, and buying a dive knife. I only freedive but I'm planning on buying a dive knife and attaching it to my weightbelt just in case of entanglement.
