I hate going to the goodwill with my wife but the otherday I actually scored big time. I found a almost brand new Bare 7mm Dry suit with boots for $45!!! Brand new they are a $1000!!! It is missing the inflator hose but you can use your BCD inflator hose for a drysuit whip. It is my exact size when I checked the manufactuers fit guide!!!! Suit is in great condition with a few little cracks in the neck lining seal, near the top by your chin. Nothing a good hood wont cure Now I dont have a excuse not to dive these waters, except big white sharks .

Hey man, when are we all going diving? Grab your brother and let's hit the coast. I hear the Mendocino area is fantastic. Abalony (sp?) divers swear by it. I don't have adry suit though... but plenty of wet suits!

I have a BARE drysuit. 7mm crushed neoprene. I don't uses it anymore. This is my BARE
This is my newer suit. Made by Ocean Vendors out here in Antioch. Much nicer. Shell suits rock, this one was made custom to fit myself. Even got the P-valve so I can take a leak
Good deal on your find. You should have it pressure tested just to make sure there are no leaks. [ January 23, 2006, 03:57 PM: Message edited by: sharkattack ]

That's awesome. We all have to get together and go diving. Someone needs to set something up.

How much weight do you need with a dry suit, is it the same as a comperable thinkness wet????
