Can anyone offer me any advice on buying my first drysuit? I'm a tropical diver trying to get wet up here in the PNW cold waters, and using a 7mm farmer john is just not cutting it. I'm trying to decide between the DUI TLS SE 350 and the CNSE.....Do any of you have experience with these suits? What kind of advantages/disadvantages do each offer? Also, I'm pretty turned off by the price (but still willing to pay it if its the best option), what do you think about using a semi-dry like the Mares Isotherm, or am I just crazy, being as it is that I dislike the cold to begin with. Some people said the Isotherm is great, but I don't know how deep they're going or for how long.
Also, my LDS is offering me the TLS SE for $900 and the CNSE for $1060, is this a good deal or should I look elsewhere? Any advice on other shops to go to in the Seattle area?
