Custom Wetsuits?

[CAPTAIN SINBAD]

Who makes them nowadays? Liquid Fit seems to have gone out of business. Wetwear is still making custom wetsuits but they use stiffer neoprene which I am not too fond of. Anyone else making custom wetsuits?

There's a local shop here in Okinawa called bubbles custom wetsuits, you can find them on Facebook. They make some interesting suits like Spider-Man and anything else you can dream off

There are certainly some "unusual" designs around:

A few years ago a wetsuit company came up with this basic design and encouraged people to choose suit panels in their favourite colours:

More and more wetsuits and drysuits nowadays seem to have been designed by makers of Harlequin costumes.

Terrapin Wetsuits (www.terrapinwetsuits.com/) near Comfort, TX which is NW of San Antonio. I have seen Chris' work, and it is excellent. She has also retrofitted some sleeve and ankle zippers in two of my wetsuits, and the workmanship was flawless.

Our local guy here in Toronto (attico) retired recently. I have not yet used Atlan but they are on my list.

There is a place in Gales Ferry, CT called Aqua Sports small mom and pop dive shop, been there for many years. The owner makes custom wetsuits. I bought one years ago and still have it very well made with good rubber. The owner made wetsuits for the navy divers in Groton, CT. I know the shop is still open but I don't know if he still makes suits.

I have heard good things about coral reef in Huntington Beach. Someone I know had his custom suit made there and was very pleased with it.
