    What color do you want your drysuit dive skin??

    Whites Manufacturing has recently launched a new dry suit - The Fusion - This new suit involves brand new dry suit technology - An inner shell bladder, with an outer lycra/neoprene skin. This outer skin is removeable and replaceable. (Please check out our website for more information on the suit).

    The suit right now is being sold with a solid black lycra skin - which is extremely flexible. We understand that divers will want graphics, different colors, maybe comoflauge, SAR skin, an Instructor skin etc. The question I have is....

    What color or style of skin would you want if you had one? Is there a graphic that you think would be really cool? Maybe you want bright yellow as an instructor so students could see you better underwater? Pink Camo? Superman or woman? Feel free to have a vote on the pole - or add your suggestion!!

    I will post pictures of some samples we just got in as soon as I can...

    If you are confused - and you are going to DEMA - find me/us there with lots to try on - with all the sample skins.

    Until the Next Dive, :popcorn:

    Black with black accents to match the rest of my gear.

    Why DIR? Because pushing rocks uphill gets old quickly.

    Sweet suit with options, cool.
    Will they be available directly from manufacturer?
    What price category will it fall into?

    Black with yellow seam accents like the old Cousteau wetsuits could be cool.

    The suits are available now through any authorized dealer. Unfortunately we do not sell direct to consumers. Having said that if there is not a dealer in your area - we are looking for new dealers - just let your local dealer know what you are after - this sytem has a rock solid patent, so you won't find another dealer with this system.

    As for Black with yellow stripes - got it - one vote for black with yellow!

    I like the picture btw, anyone that wants to throw an example of graphics - feel free - if you don't want to post them - pm them to me, maybe your graphic will be the next Whites Fusion skin!!

    Tyler...I love the black with yellow. Black w/women friendly accents would be extremely popular. I have people talking about buying 1-2 extras to look fashionable.

    Rule #3 of diving...always look good!

    In Switzerland, black is more common.

    Tye-dyed or leopard skin print would be cool. Most suits on the market these days are black with some colour accent panels. Go for the gusto with something really bold.

    Cheers,
    Scott
