Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

[gregbenson314]

The Nova price on their website is £597, for the non-UK orders too. Not sure what that means. I swore it was about £120 less in the non UK price.

The UK price is from £716.68, so the £597 is about £120 cheaper. That accounts for our 20% VAT for UK purchases.

After a lot of chasing up with emails and phone calls I finally got the images of the green colour.

Ah! I forgot what the base price is! So they are now showing pre-VAT price for UK buyers as well

Thanks for sharing. Compared the "primary" coloring for their red and blue fabric, that green color is suprisingly muted. Look at it in comparison with the green milk crate in the background of the 2nd pic. I wouldn't have blinked if you said that was their new grey color.

Agreed, thought that surely couldn't be green? But i do kinda like it

Looks pretty different from their sample green

Points of comparison. I got my Nova about a year ago. The silicon seals and oval wrists have been great so far. I got a convenience zip but no p-valve. Bad move on my part. I would do it the other way around if I could redo that move. One pocket is plenty for my purposes. I got neoprene socks which I like with boots. Wider braces would have been better. So there are two things to do different if this suit ever needs replacement. Finally, the 250 undergarment is buoyant and a little bulky, but plenty comfortable down to water that is 40F. I may replace it with fleece one of these days. I got the suit when they had black, blue, red, and yellow. My wife vetoed red and yellow, so mine is blue. It looks like it escaped from the 1970s, so it is the disco diving suit.

I'm thinking about a P-valve, thanks for the input.

Better to have it and not use, than not have it and dehydrate yourself. I plumb every dive because I drink a lot of water regardless of planned activities. I may not pee during every dive but I certainly do after I get in the suit and before taking it off.

I had one before, never used it and removed it. Can't quite remember what that was all about! I pee a lot when I'm diving
