    Too thick and not flexible enough.  This is not from personal
    experience, but an experienced instructor friend gave up his Pro in
    favor of a Sport because he found the Sport so much more flexible that
    it made his diving far more comfortable.  

    I suggest only buying the Pro if you have a very clear reason not to
    buy the Sport.  Also, the cost is very much higher.

I used a Sport for about 4 years. It served me well but when I started
wreck diving I found the rubber to be to thin. This suit now has a bunch
of patches on it and is sitting in a box. If your not going to be doing
lots of wreck diving this is a fine suit.
