    Look into the old style neoprene suits, they can be had REALLY cheap now, I have seen them new for $350 on a closeout. They are extremely durable and warm. Of course at that price, you can replace them as they wear so you don’t have to worry about a failure as much. Look for the neoprene seals as they too are tougher. And whoever told you that the dry suit will fail is 100% correct. It happens more often than you would think, but it is usually not a big deal, you don’t freeze and you can continue to do your decompression requirement. Don’t ever think a dry suit is dry, I am always wet after a dive.

    Well, the wet/dry issue aside, the job sounds interesting. I am sure everyone would love if you posted a new thread about your scuba job. I know a lot of us would love to have scuba as part of our job. Unfortunately that usually means difficult commercial diving or low pay dive jobs like DM or instructor.

    Are you talking about the semi-dry crushed neopreme suits??? It's not really a job since it doesn't pay but more like research for school in hopes to get into a program to go to Moorea next fall for a few months doing research there. Thanks for the advice, I'll have to take a look

    No, but that might be an option for you as well.

    Anyway, we would love to hear about what you are doing.

    I've been toughing it out but my 7mm is pretty shot so I just upgraded to a 9mm. Oh how nice it will be diving without a wetsuit
