I realised that I needed a custom suit kidda early on but really want some opinions on getting a suit at a reasonable price as I live in Singapore and the local custom maker is much too expensive for me.
1st I did mail Hotwave in Thailand but they could not help me with the neoprene they use nor seem to understand what I needed.
1. I'm looking for a full 3/2 mm suit in a medium or heavy density neoprene for deeper dives up to 60m if and when I decide to do tec diving.
2. I would like to know which suit maker is near enough to my location not to cost me an arm or a leg just to have it sent over.
3. If there aren't any good alternatives from this region, which suit makers are your choice for a good, durable, comfortable and most importantly resonable suit maker.
I would check out the Akona suit. They are cut for a comfortable fit, and their size chart is accurate. I just got the 7mm version but I hear their 3mm version is just as nice, and I love the 7mm, very comfortable and extremely flexible for a 7mm suit. I can only imagine the 3mm is awesome.
