New drysuit suggestions

[Crazy_Canuck]

well looks like my scubapro ever tec can't be fixed. Too many seam leaks. What should I replace with? Just starting into tec diving, really like the tri lam with telescoping torso, want to add built in kubi gloves, also I am a big guy so custom is probably the best. Any replies would be great.

get in touch with the folks at DRIS (Dive Right In Scuba) - Mike?

I'm diving a DUI, but if I had to replace it, I'd look at USIA, the Deep6 custom, and likely a few others....

Bare's Trilam Tec Dry is very similar to the drysuit you currently have. There are several people around here that have one or the other. Both are very comparable and are close to the same in price. Bare has a good warranty program.

It is unfortunate that your EverTec is giving your problems. I've had mine for several years with lots of dives and very little issues. A local prof took his to Antarctica and experienced no problems.

One of the PhD candidates took his Trilam Tec Dry to Antarctica and it was much to his liking. He too, experienced very little issues other than a pocket came lose which Bare fixed under warranty.

You're in Canada, so take a look at Bare.

If you're going to mail order, have a look at:

Made to measure with every option you can think of (including Kubi rings and Si Tech Quick Neck) for not much over USD$1000.

If you haven't looked at them already, take a look at Seatux dry suits - Canadian Made Dry Suits from Vancouver Island - Seatux Diving Ltd. Seatux is a small business based in Lantzville, B.C., and makes custom suits. I have owned two of them now. Quality work and service at a decent price.

Big guy? like flexibility? AquaLung (Whites) Fusion bullet. No need for custom.
