Thinking about dive rite 905.

[chs8084]

My husband and I dove the dive rite 905 back zip suit at a demo day and were quite favorably impressed. They are at a price point where we can at least consider buying our first drysuits. Would love to hear what others think of this dry suit.

I would personally run from this suit. My first drysuit was a 905 and I had nothing but problems with it. The seams were constantly leaking, especially in the crotch area, and the boots cracked in less than 6 months. I have spoken to several other divers who have have the same problem with the seams leaking.
In all fairness to Dive Rite, this was not the new EXP suit and it was a front zip one. I will never throw away money on a Dive Rite suit again. I finally spent the money and got a Santi and have been thrilled with it. I finally know what it means to be DRY.

I have nothing but positive comments on my 905EXP. It is an excellent suit IMHO. I have had it for three years now. No leaks and I really like the way it fits and feels. Great suit, I am so glad I switched back to a Trilam suit from a crushed neoprene.
