- I am about to start my PADI divemaster course and every
- divemaster or former divemaster I have talked to
- here in Ottawa says that I should buy a
- dry suit. The dive store I dive with, Discover Scuba has
- given me two (really, three) options:
-
- Viking Sport or Pro dry suits
- Brooks neoprene dry suit
-
- I am 5'5'', 115lbs and am rather thin. My questions are
- will the suits fit me (seals especially since I have
- very thin wrists) and which one is best for the fresh
- water diving around Ottawa. Insulation is another consideration
- since I don't have very much myself.
-
- Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in
- advance.
