drysuit for children

[lukejames]

hi, new to forum, can anybody give me advise on where I can get a drysuit for my 13 year old son who has just started diving. Looked at mens but small is still too big.
Have only managed to find drysuits suitable for sailing not diving.
Can anybody help?

Would help if you could post his height and weight.

I think you are going to struggle to find a drysuit that fits him well. He is also at a stage where he is growing rapidly. He will outgrow the suit within 18 months.

I assume the water is very cold where you dive? Rather invest in a good semidry, hoodie and gloves.

Try contacting Whites. Their Fusion 2XS/XS suit fits 5'1"-5'5", 90-130 lbs. May be a little big now but would give him room to grow.

Have you by chance contacted your LDS about a custom fitted suit?

I got one

I have a 2XS Whites Catalyst that is brand new for $600. The nice thing is when he outgrows it, you can probably sell it close to what you paid for it

Looks to be a good fit with some growing room for him. Here is the size chart:
