Thanks for all the replies to my drysuit questions. Sorry I didn't get back to everyone, fairly flat out at the moment with marking. I appreciate the help. Locally the only person I know who has even worn a drysuit is the manager of the shop I DM for, one dive in a pool :-) Actually that's not true, I think the current President of our dive club owns a drysuit, she doesn't use it locally though. To my question. I love my XL Jet Fins but they are way too small for drysuit boots (a tight fit with wetsuit boots). Is anyone aware of Jet Fin clones available in OZ, in larger sizes? Suitable for size 11 DUI drysuit boots (the dipped boots not the rock boots). Distributors (even the names of overseas distributors would put me on the right track)? FYI, The suit arrived and it seems OK. It is shoulder entry and lacks the niceties of the 350's I've seen, suspenders, front entry, telescopic torso, rock boots, warm neck seal, etc. But I don't think this will be a problem, some of these could be added if desired (at least rock boots and neck seal). As far as fit goes. Length wise pretty much spot on (certainly in the legs) and boots seem the right size too (though the opening at the top of the boots seems unnecessarily large). The suit is roomy but not as bad as I thought it might be (I'd imagine much snugger and movement might be restricted?). I seem to have a full range of movement. From what I've heard I might not get a better fit with a custom suit anyway :-) Cheers, Simon Simon L Hartley EnvSM Website Coordinator\First Year Course Coordinator Associate Lecturer School of Environmental Science and Management Southern Cross University P.O.
