Here in the northern parts of Europe diving wet is no fun between Octobre and May. Especially when boat diving on a windy day at sea, you get to cold. I have a Bare, trilam. Bought in 2009 for €1100 including hood and gloves. I had one leak, probably from an oyster while photographing. No flooding. And the seals were replaced this year because they were worn. That is all in 300 dives. My wife had a neopreen dry suit which became leaky after 900 dives and was not reparable anymore. But hey, 900 dives!
So now she bought a leftover Bare, which is the same as mine, for € 600.
In summer though I still like diving wet. The dry suit is worth it. Wet suits also are subject to wear and tear. They get thinner over time and the knee pads come off etc.
Maybe I'll replace my wetsuit with a semi dry Seac.
