My 18 year old is a string bean! He’s 5’10” and weighs 125 lbs. We dove Blue Grotto (spring in FL) a few weekends ago and he was cold due to his rented wetsuit being too large in the upper body. I really don’t want to buy a new custom suit because he’s growing like a weed and it likely won’t fit him next summer.
We’ll have a few more cool water dives before going to Cozumel in July. I’m thinking a 3 mm shorty would work for him in Cozumel, and he could wear it under a 5 mm when in cool water.
Surely other parents have had the same issue. Anyone have a wetsuit sitting in their closet, they no longer want, that fits a skinny teenager? I’m happy to pay a fair price.
Or, if anyone has advice on where to get a wetsuit, off the shelf, for him I’d be very thankful.
