Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

[admikar]

Fellas...... there's an awful lot of tears being shed in this thread about delays. I'm pretty sure Seaskin isn't in the business of making people wait, it's just the way the world is right now.

If you feel this is directed at you,... it 100% is... please follow this > LINK

If you can't take this as a joke, we probably can't be friends.

Still not crying.
I don't have issues with delays, we all know it happens. But right now, this is my third delay. Tell me straight, we are late, expect one month delay, we'll try to make it sooner. Right now it's, OK we can't make it this week, but next week for sure.

The number of choices for this suit are almost overwhelming.

One thing to be aware of is, you can order the suit with no options, and it will still work, and you’ll pay almost nothing for it. In 2020 I bought my ultra suit with almost no extra options, it cost me about 600 dollars and it’s worked great.

If you wanna load it up with everything that’s fine too! Just be aware you are going to be equally dry either way.

Unless he needs to go and doesn't have P-valve

I don’t have a pee valve and have no problem doing two dives with a surface interval in between usually. Not everyone has a baby bladder

I don't have one neither, but doing one hour of deco in cold water, while being suitably hydrated is not fun

Okay if you’re doing dives that involve an hour of deco that’s a different story.

I would expect delays is all. Just be surprised when it arrives? No matter what you do, call, email, write, post... it's not going to speed things up.

(P.S. - this is still a joke, idc what you do...good luck)

Got an email from them today asking if I would mind if they send me the suit without inflator hose.
It turns out that suit has been finished for weeks, only thing they are missing is hose. Should have been there on Monday, now it's Thursday (maybe). Go figure.

I bought the nova with:

sitech quick neck
sitech valve set

But I did not find:

- Tool for attaching the neck seal and Lock Ring ( the day I will replace the neck seal how I will do? )

- Tool for attaching detaching Valve

for who has the same configuration, did you find the tools?

also but is not a issue because I can download pdf, I did not find any manuals.

Did you contact Seaskin? Looking at website, if you buy quick neck system, tool comes as part of the set. Tool is also shown in Nova drysuit options if you take quick neck system
