Funny thing about dry suits, because they are so spendy, I went top shelf when I decided to get one several years ago. Custom tri-lam material, custom fit to my measurements, knee pads, butt pads, blah, blah, blah. The GM of the dive shop I am associated with did a good job convening me to do so.

Fast forward to me as an acting DM for classes and smashing around in the bottom with students. I then think to myself, “I don’t want to tear this thing up because of my sizable investment. A little while later, I go back to the dive shop and look around at options. I pulled the trigger on another dry suit made in the UK. The Typhoon series, I was able to get into it for a fraction what the other mfg was (DUI). After my DM deal with the owner, all said n done, I got it for $750.00 for suit, rock boots n undergarment.

If I am totally honest, I wished I had gone with the Typhoon from the get go. Dives better, feels better and the air cell is way more manageable. It’s just a better suit to dive. Moral to the story, more expensive does not mean better.[emoji849]

Unfortunately, it’s been so long since we have dove cold CA water, the wrist, neck and booties will turn to dust. Poof!!! lol

On a side note, converse tennies work great as shoes/boots for dry suits.

My orange ones work great for the DUI, really completes the clown look really well.
