For sale here is a Waterproof brand Taurus model 7MM Semidry suit size L/t. I stand 6' 3" and weigh 207 and found the fit pretty good for an off the rack suit. I owned this suit just over one year and have a total of 19 dives on it. I found the suit to live up to the manufacturer's description in all respects. I have made 6 dives in 44 degree water and was quite comfortable. I was not toasty, but I was not cold or chilled either. Very little water gets into this suit which, combined with the high density, top quality neoprene, is why it does its job so well, even at 100'. I have moved to more tech diving and have gone to a dry suit because of the extended times I spend at depth. This suit has a Halcyon drysuit pocket mounted on the left thigh and comes with a 7 mm hood. This suit has been very well cared for having been rinsed, hung to dry, and its zipper lubed after each use. There is no damage or wear to the suit other than what would occur in normal use. I guarantee the buyer's satisfaction with this suit at purchase and will refund the purchase price upon return if the suit is found to not be as I have described. Buyer pays shipping. Price is $400 usd.

Suit Description:

Combine a snug fit with a Drysuit zipper and stunning design and you end up with a high-class semidry. Features include an anatomical design, super stretch neoprene seals, inner plush lining and unique 3-Dimentional hard-core rubber Knee Guards to mention just a few. The Taurus bridges the gap between a Drysuit and a Wetsuit. Dry enough to keep the Diver warm in colder water, thus still with the snug fit and nice feeling of a high-class wetsuit. Facilitates longer dives in warmer environment and lower air consumption due to less heat loss.

I think weight-wise the suit would be fine. Given that you're about 6' I think you might find the suit a little long. My crotch to floor is 35" and torso circumference is about 71" (that's measured through the crotch and over the shoulder near the neck). If you're much shorter than this through the leg or the torso, I think you're going to have room in the suit which is not what you want with a semidry.

Well, I sold this to my dive buddy who made it into a dry suit. Last time we dove, I think he was thinking about selling it. If you are still interested, I can check with him.

Thanks!
