Bonġu again Mark
Thanks for the shopping tip. Ive heard about the BARE factory from a friend of mine who bought her wetsuit there. She always raves about her wetsuit. I found the address on the net, and have written to them regarding their opening hours etc. I tried their 7mm artic model last year, but it was too tight across my broad shoulders. I opted for a better fitting 7mm from Seac Sub, which costs a fraction of the price. Hurrah. Albeit the quality isnt nearly so nice. Im now looking for a tropical suit, so hopefully the material will be less stiff and offer a more comfortable fit across the shoulders and everywhere else. I checked out the prices of BARE on the net and they seem pretty reasonable compared to what you pay in Switzerland. Of course a low US$ helps. The regular internet prices at BARE are even cheaper than Spiro & Techniquest wetsuits listed at Maltaquas website - interesting. Thus, the BARE factory will definitely be my first choice. If BARE doesnt fit, Im willing to try anything as long as it is comfortable. I dont mid driving to another part of the island to visit a dive shop. After all, I get to see more of Malta that way, and I was planning on exploring new areas. I just dont want to spend my holiday shopping for diving equipment.
Cheers
Sylvie
PS: Do you know if Seac Sub and Henderson are sold in Malta too?
PPS: It's currently 25C and mostly sunny, just like Malta should be next week, right.
