Stuart, I think you're missing the point here. Firstly, I think you'll find that most cave divers doing sumps and crawls use wetsuits not drysuits. I did not criticise the tougher material - I merely pointed out that on occasions it made reaching valves more difficult. For me, being able to reach valves in an emergency is far more important. My criticisms of the suit were around multiple leaks (I think I've only ever had 3-4 truely dry dives in it), leaking through the stitching. Finally, as I'm sure you know, there isn't much cave diving on the south coast. Best, John. ----------------------- Much cave diving to be had on the south coast? Very tough suits that resist sharp wreckage are also very resistant to sharp limestone in low vis sumps and crawls. As Central European caves are very similar to what is found in the north of England I would have thought this to be a benefit. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
