    Show Schedule - 2009-2010?

    I have not seen any posts by wetwear in a while. They must not have anyone taking care of their Scubaboard account. I totaly agree with Deac in the Wake, just email them. They are great people and they will work with you. They also make fantastic suits.

    Hi ndemeis When you say a Farmer John, are talking about a farmer john and shorty or jacket? I would go with a semi dry jumpsuit, and if you need more warmth you can always add a vest or short sleeve shorty over it. I like the jumpsuit because it offers full body protection with total...

    Thoughts after donning ones first wetsuit

    Sleeve and ankle zippers would help a lot also. It makes getting your feet and fists in a little easier. I enjoyed reading this post. It made me laugh and realize how silly I probably looked before I got my suit with long zippers in the arms and legs. My suit is easy as 123 to put on now...

    I would definitely check out Wetwear before you make any decisions. You are right about there being different grades of neoprene. Wetwear used Rubatex neoprene and it doesn’t compress, therefore keeps you warmer at depth. I love my suit and would recommend them to everyone from warm water...

    Given the choice, which one would you pick?

    I have dove with the OCEANIC PROBE for many years. Great BC for a resonable price. I have never had a problem and it is easy to maintain. I don't have any experience with the others.
