| XS Scuba 3/2mm Pyrostretch Jumpsuit Reviews 
Reviewer: Julia Johnson on 5/26/2007
Warm, Comfortable, Well Built, Good Seals, Super for Hawaii or any other Warm Waters. A+++++ - Dont get a shortie. Get this jumpsuit. It was very stretchy, you forget you have it on. Easy to put on and the usual slight difficulty peeling it off when wet. Dries in a few hours. The comfort of this suit is fantastic. It is well stitched and showed very little sign of wear after two weeks snorkeling in Maui. The collar seals well and is comfortable. I had a small loose "pocket" in the suit at the base of my back but it never bothered me at all once I was swimming, never got a cold rush at all. Water in Maui is colder than in the Caribbean. Dont imagine that a t-shirt is sufficient if you want to do REAL snorkeling. It is also very bouyant, you can just float and watch fish or turtles... View Full Review

| Akona 1mm Jumpsuit. Reviews
Reviewer: Darren S A. on 12/28/2009
Super nice suit! - Took my wife and her new Akona 1 mm to Curacao for a week over Xmas. Decent diving, but what a great suit. Super fit on her, very nicely made, I am extremely pleased with the purchase. Also, it packs down to about the size of a medium size book and is very light, so its great in the gear bag if it allows you to leave home a heavier full suit (it is smaller and lighter than her 3 mm shorty by a lot). We intended it to use instead of a 3/2 shorty, hoping for full body coverage and sufficient warmth for warm water climate diving.
By comparison, a 1.5 mm Pinnacle she tried on did not fit in the body nearly as well and had something really weird going on at the neck, with a lot of extra... View Full Review

| Henderson 3mm Thermoprene Shorty Reviews
Reviewer: Lisa M. A. on 2/17/2009
Henderson 3mm Thermoprene Shorty serves more bounce to the ounce! - Fact is, Im a big woman. Im into the range of the specialty sizes listed on manufacturers like Henderson - and some dont even list them at all.
So when Im faced with the possiblity of special orders and custom made items with exorbitant costs, I turn to scuba.com and start trolling the closeouts and clearance for larger mens sizes.
This time I was preparing for a dive in tropical weather, and wanted my OWN shorty instead of the ragged scraps often served by dive shops in the area.
I found this item among a number of others - it was a out of the box demo, so I took a risk (my risk taking with scuba.com is often VERY rewarding) and got it.
Once arrived, the thing was pure magic. ... View Full Review

| H2O 3/2mm Junior Fullsuit Reviews
Reviewer: Mike Jensen on 4/15/2007
Great value, great price. - I bought this for my wife who is a fanatic about snorkeling. She is about 5 ft tall but long arms and legs and weighs about 128 lbs. The size chart showed an Xlarge (16)for a 54" to 57" and between 120 to 135 lbs. was the size we needed. I kept my fingers crossed when I ordered because she has problems with fit with junior sizes in regular clothing. The comments about the great customer service by other reviewers made be feel more comfortable with my decision. When the package arrived, instructions included advised that wet suits fit snug so my wife wasnt overly concerned with the "stuffed sausage" feeling when we zipped up the suit. The neck was a little tight with the zipper all... View Full Review

| Aqua Lung Sport. 3mm Quantum Stretch Jumpsuit Reviews
Reviewer: Scott Steber on 7/26/2008
Great fit, great construction... - I absolutely love the material of this suit. The stretchy neoprene makes it SO much easier to get the suit on. People often criticize these non-traditional materials as being inferior thermal insulators... but in a 3mm suit, is this really a main concern? Chances are you are diving in 75-80+ degree water and you really are only wearing the suit for exposure protection.
That being said, as far as 3mm suits go...this suit is pretty warm. There is very little water exchange through the neck/wrists/ankles. The back zipper seal seams to work great, and the ankle/wrist seals are a great feature. They definitely keep water in/out. Every time I got out of the water, onto the boat, I had... View Full Review

| Henderson 3mm Thermoprene Front Zip Shorty Reviews
Reviewer: Vahe Petrossian on 9/20/2009
Easy access and comfortable - i found the front entry zip access convenient. the thermoprene is a good combination of flexibility and warmth. i own the henderson 5mm hyperstretch too and the comfort between the 3mm thermoprene and the 5mm hyperstretch are on par. i bought the shorty for snorkeling and swimming in hawaii. i typically go to the windward side like kailua beach and usually during the winter months, so a shorty with some thermal protection will be great. in the past i used rash guards only, but with the wind, a wet rash guard gets very cold.
overall henderson is a great brand for wetsuits. you cant go wrong with them. they are also one of the few brands with a good line of kids wetsuits too.

| Henderson 0.5mm Microprene Backzip Jumpsuit Reviews
Reviewer: Lori Riesenberg on 9/3/2009
Excellent warm water suit - I just did 11 dives in Cozumel with this 1/2mm suit. It was perfect for the warm water and for protection from stuff down there. It has pretty heavy duty knee pads, unlike other thin suits. It is also cut for a woman! The sizing is exactly right, so follow the chart on this one as far as dress size, not the weights/heights. Surprisingly, the body of this fit me pretty well, and I am tall and have a very long body. If you are short waisted, it may be too long, or it just wont have to stretch as much.
Every night I rinsed it out in the hotel room and hung it to dry, and it was perfect in the morning. Doesnt take up a lot of space in the suitcase.
My son and husband have the... View Full Review

| Pinnacle 3mm Breaker Titanium Jumpsuit Reviews
Reviewer: Michael P. on 6/16/2007
Well designed and constructed - Pinnacle makes some good wet suits. It fits really well and is tight around the openings to help keep the flow of water out. It also has a very thick spine pad to keep the water from coming in the zipper and chilling your spine. They also make a good range of sizes so you can get a good fit.

| Innovative Float Suit. Reviews 
Reviewer: William Glass on 7/9/2008
not good for short children - I thought that this product would be good for my 3 year old daughter to help her stay boyant in the pool that we attend which is a 1 to 4 foot deep pool. Umfortunately, this suit caused her to bob out to deeper water where she would become boyant. Once she got beyond where she could reach the bottom with her feet she could not maintain an upward floating posture but was instead floated horizontally. As she wiggled to right herself she would roll from her front to her back in the water at times putting her face down. I believe this suit might be great to help those who know how to swim but have limited strength, but it is not safe at all for children who have no swiming abilities. I... View Full Review

| Body Glove 0.5mm Bali Diver Jumpsuit Reviews 
Reviewer: Jean L. on 12/9/2008
Body Glove wet suit - 1mm - Nice suit, light enough for Tropical diving but also works great under a 7mm suit for colder diving. I live in the northern climates so it works good as additional protection and makes it easier to get the 7mm suit on. I was recently certified for open water diving and the water was very cold here in September and October - wish I had this suit then. I did one other dive after certification, before I left for vacation and this suit made a big difference, especailly since the rental suits were old and ill fitting. On vacation this suit was easy to get on and off and also worked good when snorkeling. The suit came in as a 12 or extra large - I do not normally wear a 12 but something... View Full Review

| Henderson 3mm Thermoprene Zippered Vest Reviews
Reviewer: Steven E. on 2/8/2010
Henderson Front Zippered Vest - I purchased this vest to serve a dual role. First to add a layer of warmth while in the lap pool 3 times a week and also to use on warm water dive trips as a substitute for my 4mm shorty. To date I have only been in the pool with it. The front zipper makes it very easy to get on and off. It is well constructed and provides the needed layer of warmth. My only complaint is that while swimming the crawl stroke the zipper doesnt stay zipped all the way. I doubt this will be an issue while diving with much less upper body motion and a BC over the top. According to the Henderson sizing chart I should wear a mens medium (I took measurements to be sure). So that is what I ordered. It was... View Full Review

| Pinnacle 3mm Spirit Titanium Shorty Reviews
Reviewer: Michael S. on 11/14/2008
Pinnacle 3mm Spirit Titanium Shorty - I am very satisfied with this wetsuit, and even more satisfied with the service at Scuba.com. I needed the suit for kayaking, and since I am an unusual size I was concerned with buying the suit online sight unseen. I emailed the fine folks at Scube.com though and explained my issues, and they responded quickly and with the information I needed. I then felt confident to order the suit they recommended, and it fit like a glove. I have used the suit quite a few times since then, and it has continued to fit well, the zipper works fine, and so far no wear is evident. I did manage to get it covered in nasty smelly river bank mud, and it washed off easily with a hose, leaving no stains behind. I... View Full Review

| Henderson 3mm H2 Hyperstretch Titanium Shorty Reviews
Reviewer: Richard Shelton on 3/27/2010
Best wetsuit I have tried - I recently purchased this product and am impressed at the comfort level and quality of the suit. The stretch allowed by this product makes it easy to take on/off. I am diving in the bahamas where in the winter the water is in the low 70s and I came here expecting it to be int he 80s. I used a 5mm rental full wetsuit by recommendation and that was fine but I wanted to try out the 3mm shorty that I just got. After about a 50 minute dive, my core body was still warm but my legs and arms were cold because of the constant exposure. I felt that the part of my body that was enclosed by the suit was as warm as the 5mm I had dove in the previous day. I have since stuck with the shorty and at the end... View Full Review

| Henderson 3mm Childs/Juniors Thermoprene Shorty Reviews
Reviewer: Margaret Peters on 8/30/2009
Wetsuit - very pleased with this purchase. bought these wetsuits for multiple purposes the beach, our pool and jetskiing. i ordered two sizes for both my kids that are 6 and 10 to make sure they had the right fit and returned the others with no hassles.customer service is very helpful with sizing and finding the right suit for us. i would say suits are true to size. we were going to the beach in maine and the water is beyond cold! great to block out the sun and definitely with the 60 degree water. wetsuit is easy to get on and off. suit is soft and very flexible and is made well to protect against shafing.i would highly recommend purchasing from scuba.com and particlurly these suits.

| Henderson 3mm H2 Hyperstretch Titanium Jumpsuit Reviews
Reviewer: Christine Wheelock on 8/7/2009
Henderson H2 Hyperstretch Titanium wetsuit - I LOVE this wetsuit both for the ease of getting into the suit and the flexibility of the suit itself! I ordered the 3mm full and have been very pleased.
I would recommend going to an authorized dealer to try on a suit for fit first. They run very large and very long. I am 5 4" and while it fits great everywhere, I am now going to have my suit altered to shorten the arms and legs so it will fit better. Also, please note that on the Henderson site you can order different size top and bottom and have them put together. I didnt do this but I probably should have.
Overall, once you lick the fit, you will NOT be disappointed with this suit and it is worth the $$.

| Scubamax 3mm Kids Jumpsuit Reviews
Reviewer: Yan S. on 10/31/2008
My six year old son is now a happy swimmer! - This wet suit fits perfect and looks sleek and keeps my son warm in the swimming pool where he is taking lessons. It also helps him float better. Today he is wearing it to his school Halloween party! The mail order was quick and easy and for a very reasonable price. Great buy. I will buy again for the next year.

| Deep See 2mm Kids Shorty Reviews
Reviewer: C a. on 1/9/2010
Perfect for Snorkeling in Hawaii - I purchased two of these for my sons, who are 5 and 7 years old. The suits were a perfect fit and perfect to keep them warm while they snorkelled. My younger one is on the slim side, but the suit still fit him well. My older one is a bit huskier, but it still fit him beautifully. It is also the perfect thickness so that they dont get scratched while skimming the corals.I saw similar suits worn by kids on the beach and the quality of the Deep See suit is definitely far, far superior. I would definitely buy the next bigger size for when they need it next.
