Okinawa - Bubbles Wetsuits?

[Scuds]

Just heard about them today, anyone have any experience?

pretty decent service, and the prices aren't that bad if you need a custom suit.

I prefer Bare suits if you can get them in your size.

They do make a really cool looking spiderman wetsuit that I've been tempted to buy though...

Actually, Bare is the only company I've found that I fit the template for perfectly, a MLS, but I haven't been able to find any good deals yet.... Might have to go check out the Spiderman wetsuit though!

Do you have a web site? Do they ship outside Japan?
Thanks.

I live 5 minutes from that shop. I think their prices are ok for custom wetsuits.

I've noticed that the japanese wetsuits are much more colorful than our commando black. Do they speak English? Have a website?

We also have Sunabe Marine and Okinawa Marine Sports both located on Sunabe- this is where many of the local shops get their rental suits and they are both high quality and inexpensive for suits. I have mine made at Okinawa Marine Sports but have had many repairs done at Sunabe Marine and they do good work also.

No website that I know of, but their ads say that they speak English! Most of the Japanese here do speak at least a little English, kind of makes all the Americans look bad.

I had a 5mm farmer John made at Bubbles. Through the chest and torso it is 10mm, because I had the diaper installed also. I had zippers on the sleeves and ankles and I had custom colors and patterns. It cost me $325 actually less than a similar amount of mm of coverage. Best advice is to dive you new suit about ten times then go in for the second fitting. It will make your suit much warmer. Also you can seal the seams to make your suit last longer. If you want to be noticed at the dive site then you must get a custom suit. No web site that I am aware of, only the shop outside the main gate of Foster.
