Do I have to fight ???

[ScubaSteve]

Glad to hear it all worked out. I remember diving before my dive skin (rash guard) and am actually trying to forget.....diving with it is exponentially easier so I will never go back.

Well... First of all thank you all...
I listened you guys and realized that I am an idiot.
Duh!!!I have a month old Pinnacle rash guard laying on my boat. Somebody else told me that Merino lining doesn't require rash guard so I wasn't using it cause i thought that it will not work anyways. Boy was I wrong..

So I tried it and VOILA !!!! I can easily say that it made donning 75% easier. Actually before I wasn't able to put my wetsuit on, on my own. every time I tried to put it on myself alone I gave up after 10-15 minutes of struggle. But again rash guard made it definitely easier to don.

What I am thinking is, to keep the suit and use it with the rash guard for the next 10-15 dives (break in period?) After then I can try to don without the rash guard.
Seems like it may work.
Also since I came to island I lost 14 lbs. who knows I may lose another few lbs to make the suit fit better.

Thanks for the reminders again guys.

You are the best bunch on the net !!!
