Good dive shops Melbourne or Perth

[pelan-pelan]

We are visiting rellies in November and are looking to buy light-weight warm-water dive suits to replace very worn out kit. We will be in Melbourne and then Perth. Does anyone have recommendations for dive shops with good try-on stock? We are thinking Sharkskin or Fourth Element Thermocline or similar. Sorry this is not a direct diving question but if you want help with finding gear - ask the divers.
Thanks

Loads of both those brands there.

I might call this bizarro shopping, is to come from a place that is cheap
and buying stuff that is too thin for the climate and that is much dearer

Yeah, I just wrap myself in old newspaper.

Try on, inspect the quality, then find cheapest stockist. Buying online unseen/untried = recipe for wrong. And diving in Indonesia actually doesn't need much more than newspaper,

Thanks for suggestion of place at Altona - we will be passing by there on the way to Barwon Heads.
