My First Run in with a Wet Suit

[moneysavr]

Hey try a hyper strech= sweeeeeeeeeeeeeT! how many MM do you need for diving by you? a 3mm is much more less restrictive over a 6-7mm,
Man sounds like your having a hoot! and you may need to go to a shop with more suits,dont get stuck in a male suit as most some shops try! Uni suit's !!!!
some MFg's do make suits for that women build,
Good luck dive safe!

ok I have to try this hyperstretch now you've all sold me! I'll be diving in the gulf mostly....pool temp was 72 degrees....this was a 3mm but w/ the 2 layers made it 6mm over my core.....my instructor has advised me on a 7mm for the winter....

I dive in a 5mm in 70-80 degree water, then go to a 3mm for water above 80 degrees.

One great thing about the Hyperstretch is that you can gain or lose 20 pounds and the suit will still fit! :-D

I can't believe you didn't get your experience on video :biggrin: You could have done one of those "personal moment with a camera" deals like on reality television where you tell what you think about what's going on. There's a reason it's been dubbed "wetsuit wrestling" and it's hilarious to watch

Ber (been there done that) :lilbunny:

LOL....well I think Marvel and Walter being witness to my wet suit hop yesterday was enough LOL

ahhh it's all part of the fun......everyone else is stuggling also...besides...in the gym you can ask someone for a spot....in diving you can ask someone to help ya w/ your zipper or grab your *** and pull your suit up...great excuse to meet someone

*wink*

Yeah, in diving you get to ask the guys to help you out of your clothes!! Always good for a laugh!

I've heard "I'll zip you if you'll zip me" Back-zip drysuits are great ways to meet new people
