@JCastle19 We offer a custom-fit 7mm Hooded Vest: https://www.jmjwetsuits.com/products/hooded-vest/6 Just call the shop if you have any questions. Thanks, Derek

Adding a +1 for the G260 - it's one of my favorite regulators.

Hi @Jennilee913, Separates are often a great idea - here's an article on the subject: Advantages of diving multiple wetsuit layers. I dive several separates myself and find I get less (if any) flushing. For warmer waters I'll use a 3mm fullsuit and when it's a bit colder I'll add a 3mm hooded...

Looking sharp!

I agree that a 3mm suit is a good choice for Egypt; the diving there is great and hopefully you'll get to spend lots of time underwater! My advice is that it's not about the brand - it's about the fit. When shopping off-the-rack stock sized suits, check the manufacturer's size chart against...

Hi @MysteriousFathomsBelow, The most important thing is that your wetsuit fits you no matter where you are diving. The suit should be snug everywhere but not constrictive, and give just enough extra room to bend at the joints. For an example of ideal fit please see the photos on this page...

Fun question. I am in to the "Puck Style" tank drainer https://www.piranhadivemfg.com/item/Quiet-Tank-Drainer-Puck-Style-12886 But the "Din Style" one looks cool too. Maybe I'll get that as well so I can drain two tanks at once =)

Hi @Dutchman, You bring up good questions here. To keep my answer short, here are the important points as I see them: Fit is still the most important thing for comfort and warmth regardless of material. Materials differ in how they respond to compression. Typically "surf" suit material is...

The dive park is by far the most popular spot, but you can also do some great boat diving around the island...Catalina Divers Supply is the easiest for that too.

Not all wetsuits with zippers are created equal. I have a number of suits, some stretchy others not, some with zips others not. Personally I much prefer having leg zippers - I find they make the suit way easier to get in and out of, especially in between dives when the suit is wet...

I would highly recommend the 3Rs even if you have surf experience. They're sometimes staffed by local lifeguards with many years of experience, and can often show the locals something new. Derek

Hi @Mario007, We have a custom-fit version of the suit you mention at Fullsuit with Attached Hood - JMJ Wetsuits It is available in colors other than what's shown - if you would like more pictures or have any questions just let me know. Kind regards, Derek & JMJ

Hi @Katie Storm, I'm loving this: One-piece Fullsuit I do work with JMJ, but I loved it for many years prior so I can say it without bias. My girlfriend loves hers too, even more so because none of the usual brands fit her well. Hope that helps, Derek

Personal opinion here and not an official endorsement by JMJ, but of the few gloves I tried on at a local dive shop, I found the SEAC Ultraflex 3.5mm to be the best choice for me. They slide on easily, are comfortable and have the right amount of grip for my tastes. Nice and warm underwater as...

Hi @trassela, I'm not familiar with any custom wetsuit makers in the UK, but we can certainly help you from the US if that's helpful. Easy enough to be measured there and we can send the suit. Happy to discuss and answer any questions - just let me know if i can help. Kind regards, Derek

Hi @Ross19966, When looking at the manufacturer's size chart for any stock-sized wetsuit you'll want to be within around 1" of all the measurements on the chart. Hope that helps and kind regards, Derek

Hi @Dody, Depending on the style of your suit I'd recommend a hooded vest underneath. Personally I don't think hoods don't have to be a bummer; get one that really fits and you might learn to really like it. And as @johndiver999 said, a warm jacket for before and after your dive is a great...

Hi @kleinson, I would suggest that the best suit is less about the brand and most about the fit. Check your measurements carefully against the various manufacturers' fit chart, and if anything is off by more than an inch or so, consider a custom-fit suit...

Currently 2-3 weeks, but let us know your deadline and we'll likely be able to make it happen

Agree with @johndiver999's post above, and similar to what @Jonn said, some people heat a thin nail and poke a hole in the top of the hood to let the trapped air out. Personally I just look up and let the bubbles out. Hope that helps, Derek
