Well, at this point, I just wanted a replacement for my old Cressi 5mm. Everyone local, bought pretty much the same wetsuit, and the LDS owner ended up making EVERYONE mad. (Long story, but none of the local divers want anything to do with this guy, anymore.) I don't wish to advertize for his shop by wearing gear that I bought from him, and besides, the Cressi 5mm has big yellow bands around the shoulders and CRESSI stenciled across the chest. Much too flashy for me. If I'm going to advertize for Cressi, they need to give me a salary. LOL I like my gear to be subdued, with the exception of my knife, fins, and light. The Sea Elite suit is black and gray.
