The only reason I pump USIA is because I happen to be answering posts about Drysuits. All I ever read about on message boards is DUI. I hate DUI and really hate to see diver get sucked into their image. I did meet the guys at USIA at Divers Fair in Seattle and they were a great bunch a guys. It's just rare for a drysuit company to actually back their product. If you look, I also pump Oceanic products and Apollo stuff. QUOTE=Boogie711]DD - are you going to admit to working for USIA or something? The only time you ever post here, it's to push USIA. Kind of ridiculous now, come on. You go ahead and tell your USIA buddies they can buy advertising like everyone else, and you can feel free to stop annoying us.[/QUOTE]
For years I've been telling everyone, the best suit on the market is the USIA Aqua Pro Plus. Lifetime warranty on seams. Comfortable seals. You can order a custom suit and get in 2-3 weeks. DUI takes 6-8 weeks. You also can call anytime and talk to a Tech. They have been around for years but are mostly used in the Northwest. They blow DUI away in sales in the Seattle are. You go out in the sound and everyone is wearing their Shark Logo. You can get into their suits for less than a thousand. Check them out www.usia.com
First off, it's REALLY not truth to say that USIA blows DUI away in the Seattle area ... that might be true only if you considered the occasional, or recreational diver who looks for bargain gear because they don't use it so often. I know of very few serious divers who wear a USIA drysuit ... and I spend almost every day around local area dive sites, so I'd notice the trends.
Second fact to consider ... USIA is popular here for one simple reason. The largest scuba chain in the area sells them. That chain of scuba shops also certifies the largest number of divers in this area ... so it's not a coincidence that those same divers would end up wearing the product line sold by the store they got certified through.
FWIW - most of the serious divers I know in this area wear either DUI, Diving Concepts, High Tide, or Viking suits. Those are the quality suits on the market ... and it's no coincidence that you have to pay extra for that quality.
USIA Aqua Pro Plus. Has a lifetime warranty. Dui only offers a seven year. www.usia.com
I have to agree with Boogie711 ,Dry Diver. The ONLY post I see from you on the Northwest Diver board sing the praises of USIA and you belittle anyone who would consider wearing a DUI suit.
