Dive Rite 905

[ththooft]

Hello-

I'm seriously considering purchasing the Dive Rite 905 dry suit (there's a really good special out there right now). I'm curious what you all think of it?

Also, does anyone know how the undergarments they are including in this package are? I'm not sure if I would need to add more, or if these would be sufficient. I'm in MN, so most of my diving is here. Water temps get into the 30 and 40's after about 70ft. Also, I'm considering ice diving this year.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Not sure how much they are where you are... but....

I don't have that underwear but do have the 905 and i like it. And it is a great deal if its the same as the link mike_s put out there.

I test dove the 905 twice so far. I found it performed well and the price is right. I plan on trying to dive with another brand in the same price point before purchasing. Just so I have something to compare to.

I have dove the 905 and loved it....ordered one of the deals.....I have a compressed neoprene Whites that while it is a good suit I much perfer the "bulletproof" simplicity of the 905... as to the undergarments you may have to add a layer of something to stay warmer as neoprene will be warmer if all things are the same over a trilam...

Thanks guys!

It looks like it comes with the PolarTec 200 and then the shorty as well. I'm still not certain how warm that is. I haven't seen one yet, but I'm told that combining the two, and maybe even a pair of long underwear will do the trick for about anything. Has anyone dove with the PolarTec?
