Thank you for the quick response! Looking forward to getting in the chilly waters soon!

Great advice! Any recommendation on where to get a dry suit? I know i need it custom made as I am very tall and skinny. I have had two dive shops tell me that an off the rack drysuit wont work for me




Thanks. Yeah I love how the F8 looks but I keep convincing myself I should get an atomic cause of how reliable it it is and well rated. What do you like about the F8?

Well Zeagle has equally great reliability, and i haven't heard good things about atomics servicing. I also find that the first stage is "more" appealing both visually and on the spec sheet....

I have an Atomic M1 that I use in the PNW and on vacation. Been a fan of it so far, really like the way it breaths underwater.

It’s sealed and has a heat sink so should be fine for out here, though the servicing is a bit more on the $$ side (recommended every other year)

Edit: I used the Z2 as my necklaced secondary for a while, and it worked fine, though I'm now using the M1 for both.
