Like others have said, it's a personal thing. I use a 3mm for the Bahamas (similar water temps). I always suggest having a separate hooded vest, as it's something that you can add over top for extra warmth.

I have similar issues and I'm also tall, so I use a men's Aqua Lung AquaFlex. I would also check out the XScuba's Mendo (Mendo 7mm Full Suit).

I switch between imperial and metric all day. The bit that drives me nuts is the difference between metric and imperial tons and and the different gallons.

You'll get a little bit of scuffing and wear but it should stay good after. My knees are scuffed from dealing with students and the back and under the chest strap have some pilling from my bc.

Personally, I don't think that it's worth it because you have shipping both ways, the service cost, etc.

To my knowledge, you would have to send it in.

And an enabler ;)

In my experience, yes. All of our gear and the rental gear followed a servicing schedule and everything was done every 100 dives or 1 year (whichever came first).

For a full service, you're looking at about $30 per stage in labor (so $90 for your first, second and octo). The price of parts kits vary by band and kit, but they're usually about $25-$30 per stage. You're looking at a savings of about $90 every two years or 100 dives, whichever comes first.

I have a feeling that you are going to lose a lot of functionality regarding the buttons and interface.

Italy might also be an interesting choice (thinking of a shop or two out of Florence) .

I might add certain places in Thailand but generally they are a bit of a drive away from each other (Ao Nang might be an OK option). The diving is decent, but not amazing.

Definitely either the Aqua Lung AquaFlex or the Bare Evoke. I've done 100+ dives on mine (including my DMT), so they hold up!

Yes, sorry AquaFlex. It's not cheap but it's definitely warm and very easy to get on and off. The Xs Scuba Mendo 7mm is a great, cost effective option. It's stretchy but definitely a small step down from the AquaFlex.

I love my Aqua Lung AquaFx - I've used it for a solid three years now and it's very comfortable!

I know that you probably already know this but make sure that the pods have the little grey circle on them, indicating that they've been serviced in accordance with the recall from a year or so ago.

The high end ScubaPros will do it too (G2 and Galileo Luna/Sol) - if I remember correctly.

Does this work with the original Olympus TG camera and housing?

I use the titanium Scobapro mako knife attached to the top of the left-handed pocket. It's light, sharp, doesn't rust and stays out of the way

You don't need to drill. It fits. The plate goes inside of the pockets and the screws/washers fit through the slat on the back and the hole near the tip of the knife bit.
