BTW, in case I was unclear, put the wetsuit on before you fill it with hot water!!

are you serious?

Water temps will be about 42 degrees when I do checkouts this weekend. We have a snorkel and two SCUBA dives to conduct. Min BT for a training dive :15, but we should be able to make :25 to :30 dives. I bring a large propane turkey fryer to heat water and it provides 8-10 divers with plenty of hot water. We pre heat the suits before the dive and they will use it again as they return. Gloves and hoods soak during the SI.

I appreciate that little tip. So we are just filling the wetsuit with the water right? not actually soaking the wetsuit?

Right. Get your gear ready. Put the wetsuit on and pour some warm water down the neck seal front and back. Put on the SCUBA unit and hit the water!

Another point about the hot water: make sure it's not too hot. I saw a buddy pour water into his wetsuit out of his steel thermos that he assumed, incorrectly, had cooled down to a comfortable level. Ouch. Really warm, but not too hot.

I dive in Northern California the water temp is 42-44 deg at 40ft I dive with a Quad polar and it's not the dive that chills me it's the SI. I try to cover up with something that will help the wind from evaporating the water on my suit. that will cool you down as well. The hot water does work as well.

For those of you that use this suit. Can you say how it fits? Does it stetch like the hyperstretch? The wife is a busty 14+ at 5'6" and was wondering if it would work?
