    Drysuit wear and tear in MX caves

    For what its worth. I live in Mexico, and I would never consider anything else than a trilam drysuit here. Do I dive (very) tight places with it? Yes. Do I some times get holes in it? Yes. But surprisingly not that often. In the last few years i have been diving a Santi Elite+ and a DUI FLX...

    Drysuit Undergarment

    I am diving with a weezle extreme +, it is nice and warm but not as warm as DUI 400g and it require more air to isolate than thinsulate undergarment. Next time I will buy DUI. Santi is an option, it is tighter but have sacrificed thinsulate under the arms and lower back. Second it is starting to...

    What is the best wetsuit for the price?

    Waterproof wetsuits will keep you warm. Waterproof is a very good brand! Pre-bent arms and legs (no pun intended) provides a perfect anatomical fit. Waterproof - Sweden
