Mares Samoa 1.5

Has anyone tried this suit? How much more buoyant would this suit be over fleece/skins?

Does it matter, in terms of buoyancy, whether it's open or closed cell neoprene?

Thanks!

HI:

I just bought and have been diving with the Picasso shadow open cell wetsuit for scuba. { 5 mil}

I actually use the same or a little less weights with the "shadow " than what i use with my S-tek 5 mil steamer being a closed cell suit.

Actually, i'm a hell of alot warmer and more comfortable using the shadow wetsuit over the S-Tek.... 60's de. far. water.......

I don't think much about buoyance between the two as you can see.

I have seen the suit you have mentioned but don't have much on it to talk about.

Good luck

Sam
