Time for a new wetsuit, any recommendations

[Ontwreckdiver]

I need a new wetsuit mostly for cenote dives in Mexico and occasionally up here for river dives, around the 68 to 75 degree temperature range, my O'Neill 6/3 isn't cutting it anymore. I'm have been looking at the https://scubapro.johnsonoutdoors.com/dive-wear/wetsuits/everflex-steamer-75mm-men and the 7MM Reactive Men's Omnired Wetsuit | BARE Sports My LDS carries Bare, Scuba Pro, Henderson, Mares, Pinnacle and a couple others. I'm thinking that a semi dry would be over kill. Any other recommendations?

@cerich at Deep6 just put their wetsuits on sale. They have a 3mm and 7mm that the reviews I have seen speak highly of them.

I've been happy with my Henderson Thermaxx 7mm so far; I mostly dive locally in the 53-68F range. It was cheaper than the Aquaflex I was originally considering, which wasn't that important to me but was a nice bonus. It's also really stretchy and easy to don and doff while still being warm, which is important to me. Their sizing is a little weird; I'm a 12 in every other brand, but the Henderson 12 was way too big around the middle. Luckily they had a 10 Tall that fits just right.

I have a Deep Six 3mm and it is warmer than any 3mm I have ever dove. I did cenotes in it and was fine where I had dove a full 3mm and 3mm shorty Layered on top and was cold.

They are definately not your typical wetsuit. I'm very happy with mine.

I haven't tried the Deep Six suits and I'm not sure how much difference exists between Bare's lines for men and women, but I love my Bare Evoke 7mm. Easy to put on, comfortable, fits well and they have a ton of sizing options, and it keeps me warm in 48-55F water.

Another vote for Bare. I have the women's Evoke. I know a lot of guys locally with the Bare Reactive, who love it.

Thanks for the recommendations, I will definitely check them out.

Scubapro Nova Scotia and Othree wetsuits are some of the best.

I dive in a Seac Komoda 7mm, yamamoto neoprene with wrist and ankle zips. Felt comfortable all the down to 53 degrees last weekend. Easy to don and doff. You can find it for a great price here, Seac Komoda 7mm Woman, DIVING WETSUITS 7mm
I bought two Seac wetsuits for my boys from this website at an amazing discount.
