ScubaPro's Nova Scotia is an excellent semi- dry.

I agree. This is a very good semi-dry suite. If you "fold in" the seals (neck, wrists and ankles) it works great. I get less than half a cup of water into mine ... nearly dry! The dry zip however needs regular silicone grease to keep it smooth and water tight. I am still trying to find a perfect setup as I sometimes experience suite squeeze at depth (150ft plus), only way to fix this is to let some water in.. The suite also comes with a very good hoodie.

Pinnacle Polars are a great value right now!
