Long sleeves on drysuit

[Winmit]

Hey, guys,

i have this issue. i got a new scubapro definition dry. Actually already like 50-60 dives. Its Trilam. The issue I have is that the sizing is not perfect. I have big legs(bc of weightlifting), so I had to buy a one size bigger dry suit. So my sleeves now are longer. Which makes me problem on different lvls. I.e. the plastic rings of the dry gloves are not on a good positions, above my wrist, more to the fingers. Also because of the bigger volume around the biceps, it makes a strange "bubble" which is hard to deflate. Its not an issue from small depths, up to 30m. but after that its a bit tricky. The bubble I handle by placing a stretching strap on the biceps and it works. But what to do with the long sleeves? i was thinking about asking someone to sew me some kind of elastic sleeve or so. but still, better to ask the more exp,. guys for ideas.

Tnx

Ultimately not a bad suggestion, but the OP is in Bulgaria, not the USA, so DRIS most likely is not a viable option.

LOL! Good point. With any luck someone, um, "a bit closer" can help.

Dry Suit Projects

I am a scuba diver. While diving I almost always use the dry suit. And I make all the maintenance and modifications by myself. This is not complicated at all! I'd like to share with you how I do things. Every owner of a dry suite certainly been in the situation, when the dry suit required some...

Sorry about that.

DRIS (Dive Right In Scuba) is a dive shop near Chicago that does, among many other things, dry suit alterations. They are *very* good and have excellent service, but it's really hard to justify shipping from Bulgaria to Chicago just for that. There's got to be someone decent much closer to Bulgaria.
