If you cannot find one then contact Aquamundo, they will have one made for you at a very resonable price and that way you can get it the colors that you want!

I always used to use the farmer john without the jacket. Does that count? I don't see them for sale much in SIngapore but they are available. I could always add the jacket when cold. The farmer john was comfortable, warm enough for tropical waters and gave me lots of flexibility where I needed it - the arms. I did tend to get scrapes though which is the only drawback I could think of.

You will be at the mercy of anything with a stinger! jellys, anemones, etc... It,s the best reason for fullsuits! You just need to find a fullsuit thin enough to give you flexibility, yet thick enough for the temps you are diving. Today, with the many superflex fabrics out there, fullsuits are more comfy than ever!

Just my 0.02$

You mean something like this? Unfortunately, it may lead you to accessorize with leg warmers and arm tassles...

btw that's a shot from PG of a certain PPD member who is now freezing his arse off down under and missing the warm Philippine waters ...

I can just picture him in freezing murky water, with those pink tassles, welding something.... Now that would be a great underwater pic!
