Getting back in the water.... Drysuit comments?

[akforsyth]

Well it has been almost two years since I have hit the water and during that time I sold only one piece of equipment, my dry suit. At the time I was looking at buying a new suit right away, but life dealt me a load of crap and here it is a couple of years later. I figure I will be back in the water within seven or eight months and I am planning on buying that new suit now. I am definately going shell, since that is what i have had, and must say prefer. I was looking at the Bare ATR HD before I got side tracked, and am wondering since it has been on the market for some time now what peoples opinions are of it? I need a good suit because once I start diving again I will more than likely be doing 200+ dives a year like I was doing before I left. Also, where is a good place to purchase one of these from? During my hiatus, I moved and the closest dive shop closed down... (I think there is a conspiracy against me diving or something). Well, thanks for any info you all can provide. Cheers.

Bare has a great reputation up here in BC. There are lots of those suits out being used. Just go to any local dive site and check it out. I'm diving a nex-gen right now, and it's great, but my next suit will be a custom cut Diving concepts shell. Flex material, nice snug fit, made for me.
