Well I saw it, the enjoyment some what spoiled because I was getting
so damp The new suit is that warm that I am considering a lighter
undersuit for the summer, sweat is now the problem <yuk>.

I bought my Otter Hammerhead Pro, virtually brand new with hood, new
Poseidon 5mm gloves, repair kit, chalk lube and Thinsulate undersuit
for £100. From a bloke who was desperate to sell and needed the money.
Being a rather strange shape I was resigned to a MTM but I walked into
his living room and it was like meeting my doppelganger. Same height,
build, shoe size, everything. Very very weird but probably the best
diving bargain I've heard of.

So if you are short of £££ look out for a second hand suit. Would not
touch eBay with a bargepole as that is where I sold my old bright
orange teabag. For £120.
