 | Rating: Not great for thick wetsuits
The product is nice and looks like a good quality product but its really made for cold weather diving and is not very useful for me atleast in a cold weather wetsuit.
I use a 7mm John with a 7mm coat ... So with 14 mm thickness its virtually impossible to activate it with the suit on even on dry land...
My instructor asked if I was ok because I was doing a little dance and reaching for my back for a couple minutes.
I will try it over my John next time I wont gain as much heat but perhaps I can turn it on then.

Wetsuits
Iīm new when it comes to buying equipment and thought I would start with a wetsuit first. After exploring several different options, I have narrowed it down to the Hendersen line. The question I have is that I like the 3mm H2 but itīs spendy, is it worth the cost? I also like the thermoprene but was wondering about the warmth of the 3mm and thinking about going to the 5mm. We dive mostly around Cozumel but hope to dive in coming years around Hawaii.

Re: Wetsuits
Hmmm.... a bit of deja vu here. Iīm thinking you called me with this same question a bit ago. And if not, somebody out there is reading your mind! :o)
The Henderson line of wetsuits are a very high quality line that Iīm sure youīd be more than happy with. The H2 is extremely stretchy and comfortable, but sometimes for some folks its a bit too elastic. While suitable for anybody looking for extreme comfort and mobility in their suit, itīs most useful for those who do not get a nice or proper fit in an off the rack suit. having 200% the elasticity of a normal neoprene suit, it expands and stretches in spots that the diver isnīt dead on in terms of sizig, offering a custom like fit! That fit equates directly into warmth as less water is pooling inside the suit where it shouldnīt be.
The Thermoprene suit isnīt quite as elastic as the H2. The main thing that will give you is a slightly better price. If the suit fits you well, youīll still enjoy itīs warmth and the extra mobility youīll gain as this material is 75% more flexible than the standard neoprene suit.
Either way you canīt go wrong with your choice. The quality of either suit is top knotch!
Lastly, itīs not uncommon at all for people to use a 5mm suit in Hawaii, although except for the middle of winter itīs often a bit warm for Caribbean diving/snorkeling. The nice thing about that is that you can always make a warm suit cooler by simply unzipping it a bit, where as you canīt make a cold suit warmer unless you add more neoprene layers to it.

 | I noticed no-one has writen you any messages... so Iīll be the first. The name is Bob... I live in Mesa AZ. (I know a scuba diver in the middle of the desart!) Actuly there are 3 really large lakes in AZ. Lake Plesant, wich is a fairly large lake. And the best place I have found is diveing the SALT RIVER! The salt river is actuly the over flow out of lake plesant! During the summer its almost a river, and ther meny canyons that fill with a depth of about 35 to 40 feed.Its even better in the winter... less flow and little curent. but the water remains about the same. And when I say winter thats a laugh... AZ Winters are about 70 degrees! Up north gets snow.. the desart gets Flowers! Idots like me just go diveing... Drop me a line when you have a chance!
