Scotty3934 5 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hi All Looking for some opinions. Am in the market for a decent 7mm (or so) wetsuit for diving in the winter. Any recommendations? Who is using what and what are the pro's and con's of the different brands etc. Any input appreciated. Cheers Scotty Link to post Share on other sites

Rental 1 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I have some nice 7mm Cressi suits on a boat show special for $399. Make sure you let us know you are a "Crewer" and we can sort out a few air fills FOC. We have shifted to 20R Sylvia Park Rd in Mt Wellington and need some customers !! Come and visit......please Ant.

Brooker 0 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I use the moray 7mm semi dry, one piece with the zip across the chest. Absolutely beautiful to wear and warm. Just use the old shopping bags on your hands and feet to help the cuffs slip on. We dive all winter in 10 deg water and all I add is a kidney belt and its all good for two dives. Modern technology certainly makes thing like this more enjoyable. Link to post Share on other sites
Rental 1 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Yep the technology has really improved in the last couple of years. I use the moray 7mm semi dry, one piece with the zip across the chest.

Brooker 0 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I forgot to add that In the summer you can't muck around getting your gear on as you will overheat in about 2 minutes I usually suit up then put the rest on in the water where it's nice and refreshing Link to post Share on other sites
