Wetsuit

scubasteve

I'm looking for a wetsuit. I've been offered a 2 year old Ripcurl 5/3 excellent shape no hole/rips for €100 (Bought new for €235).
Good deal or not? Thanks in advance

for €100 you could buy a new one or for €259 you can get a top Forth Element Proteus one that is supr snug for our water.

Check out my irishpadi link below. Head to the shop.

Chances are that the suit is a surf suit... surf suits don't make good dive suits ...
Wouldn't recommend buying it tbh...

Yip AFAIK Ripcurl don't do diving wetsuits, only surfing etc

You could have a look on the wetsuit section of divegear.ie for used gear. I've linked the site on a few threads now - hope that doesn't annoy the mods but v usefully website!
