Scubapro wetsuit advice

[Divingcuba]

I am considering purchasing a Scubapro Nova Scotia 6.5mm semi drysuit wetsuit and would like some input as to people's experiences with this suit, water temperatures people are using it in, insulating quality and also where is a good place to purchase preferably online. Thanks in advance

Keep in mind the Nova Scotia isn't a wetsuit, but a semidry. Depending on how you tuck the seals, you can stay pretty dry in these guys and they're quite warm. We use them a lot around here when its too cold to dive wet, and not cold enough to justify the extra weight of a drysuit.

I have one. Used it in winter in the red sea and it was very comfortable and warm.
Bit too warm for my normal diving so I've just bought the 4mm version (just arrived today!!)
I got mine from Italy - the cheapest I could find it Vendita MUTA SUB SEMISTAGNA SCUBAPRO NOVA SCOTIA MAN 6,5mm - MUTE SEMISTAGNE - MUTE

Best wetsuit i've ever owned. Seals are great, and the water ingress is minimal. I've used it in 12 degree water, but 15 was really the low end for comfort. (celsius btw).

I recommend not buying online as it is a suit that needs to be tried on. I ended up with a medium large, whereas i'm a small in other suits.

I agree 100% with ste wart. Make sure you fit one before buy and don't take the size chart for granted. 14 degrees c with hoodie is also about my limit for and 70min dive. Turn the seals in on itself (wrist, anckle and neck) and add a touch of warm water to the suit predive (half cup or so). You will quickly learn all about suit squeeze diving with one of these puppies.
