what kind of exposure suit do you use for solo diving and if you use a rear entry drysuit how do you zip up your suit at the dive site by yourself?

Depends on the temps. I dive both wet and dry. I have a dual bladder wing, though, so that takes care of the redundancy. I dive a front entry suit, but there are a couple of threads here on how to get into a rear entry suit. Just do a search. Dog leash and wire hanger seem to be quite popular. Just clip or hook the zipper and pull across.

Darn! Why I didn't think about it before? :huh:

I have a rear entry suit and had really bad times trying to close that rear zipper in the first times Perhaps I am not flexible enough, or those chords attached to the zippers are usually short enough... Not to mention how ridiculous I felt and must have looked, struggling with my own suit's zipper!

Next suit will be front entry, no doubt :14:
