Today, after suggestions from some of you other large women divers, I went to my LDS to try on the one rental suit they have that was bigger than XL.. it was a man's xxl and sadly it did not fit. Normally, this probably wouldn't even phase me but as soon as I walked out of the dive shop i completely broke down. I had informed the LDS of my size before signing up for the class, and been assured they could accomodate me.
There are no other dive shops around and the temp for my open water cert dives would be too cold without a wetsuit. I am now forced to go and buy a custom suit.
I am curious how much some of you have spent on suits. I am a women's size 24 in regular clothes, I need a 7mm or a 6.5 mm suit and I was also wondering if any of you have strong opinions about one company over the other?
