sizing

Hello SB, I know the answer to this probably exist on some post on here, but I'm lazy enough to ask for fresh opinions. I've recently acquired a Bare Tri Lam Tech HD from my LDS and promptly sent it off to have quick change seals, p-valve and appropriately sized neoprene socks installed. I...

Hi everyone, Sorry if this has been asked before, I am looking at trying to find some boots in the UK that fit my very wide UK size 13's (US 14, EU 48). I've just treated myself to the L/XL Mares Qattro's and some new boots after a while of not diving and theyve caused me complete agony. I've...

My old DUI rockboots have finally bit the dust. Since it is critical that I look tacticool at all times (especially underwater) I thought I would give the Altama Maritime Assault boots a go. The question is on the sizing.... I wear a size 10 street shoe and the same in the DUI rockboots...

I’ve heard the new Nixie Ultra runs small. If you own multiple Bare wetsuit including the Nixie Ultra, let me know what you think of the sizing. I’m the same size in both Evoke (2021) 5mm and the old Nixie 3mm, but heard some people size up with the new Nixie. Also do you have any issue with the...

Does anybody here have any experience with the Avatar drysuit? I am thinking about getting one, but I am concerned about sizing. I was really hoping to fit on a Medium size, which comes with the correct boot size 9 for me, but I seem to be off in some of the measurements (waist, for instance)...

The 7mm Deep 6 wetsuit seems like a good deal. From what I've ready in forum posts from last year, the quality is exceptional. I'm wondering though if even the size S would be too large for me. I'm a size 6 for Probe iDry 5mm and that's a snug fit. Anyone else had experience with Deep 6...

Hello, I've been having some trouble figuring out if the sizing on my jet fins fit. There's a little bit of give when I move them side to side (horizontally) very quickly. I wear a size 9.5 shoe usually, am wearing a size 8 booty, and am using the XL scubapro jet fin that was made in Taiwan...

I've been using Seac Basic HD 5mm boots with my Deep6 Eddy fins. I wear US 8.5 and from the Seac sizing chart, I'm on the cusp of Small and Medium. I ordered the Medium, as sometimes I'm a 9, depending on shoe manufacturer. After dives, there's always a slosh of water in the boots. When...

Hi everyone! So I am having huge issues trying to find a drysuit for myself. I know I need an xs drysuit and I have tiny feet, size UK 3.5/4. I am finding it hard even to find a drysuit in xs let alone one with feet size that won't have my fin dangling off and not even touching the foot. Can...

Hi. I just received my 3/2mm full wetsuit from Xcel. From the men's sizing chart, I would mostly be an XS (about the right height and chest size, though waist is about 2" more... hahah). Upon trying it on dry, I found the arms and legs very constrictive to the point where I felt my...

Does anyone have experience with both Bare and Henderson women's wetsuits? I am purchasing a hooded vest/shorty to layer over my Henderson Neosport 3/2 wetsuit. The Bare Step-in Hooded Vest was highly recommended by my dive master. My Henderson wetsuit is a size 8. Based on the Bare sizing...

I put together another educational article for sidemount divers. This one focuses on how to set up and configure your sidemount harness. It specifically focuses on the 'mexican cave' (UK style) type of harness. Lots of principles and tips that are hopefully beneficial. As always, do let me...

Hello all, I'll probably be getting my first set of Dive Rite fins in the near future. I currently wear size XXL Jet fins for both wetsuit boots & drysuit w/chucks. Based on this, anyone know what size would be appropriate?

Hi. I'm a male diver after a new 5mm wetsuit (I'm in Melbourne, Australia). And i have a question about sizing and fitting. My size measurements are 100cm chest, 95cm hips, 88cm waist.... (and in imperial - 39 inch chest, 37inch hips, and 34 inch waist). I'm a bit on the fat side at the moment...

All joking aside, I'm a new diver looking to buy his first BC. Am considering a Sherwood Ventura and am at almost EXACTLY at the intersection between the Medium and Large sizes. I need your advice about which size I should go with. Here are the Ventura sizing suggestions, and mine: Medium...

I'm looking for ideas or possible solutions for a problem on behalf of someone else... so please forgive me if I can't answer all the questions that might be asked for clarification. It seems that the smallest (silicone) wrist seals produced are still too large for this individual's wrists. It...

Hello Ladies! I'm looking to buy my first drysuit and I'm wondering about a few things. First off, some background info. I'm a tech/research diver who dives regularly in less than favorable conditions. My ideal suit is a custom Santi, however, being a broke college student funds are somewhat...

I am having some B/C size issues and was wondering if anyone out there had suggestions for me. I am 6'6" and 200 lbs. Because of my length I generally have to get XL size items so they fit, but because I am relatively skinny--34" waist--these same items are generally too loose. Usually when I...

Hi, I just ordered the scubapro everdry 4 drysuit size medium. It comes with attached neoprene socks instead of attached boots. My plan is to use an oversized pair of wetsuit boots over the neoprene socks. I'm going on a dive trip shortly after the drysuit is supposed to arrive so I'd like...
