I am looking at buying a car.
I would like.....

It's the same sort of question.
There is some stuff on http://www.ukrecscuba.org.uk/
but mainly we can only tell you that the particular
one we have is OK and we like it but that they last
so we've not tried lots.

I have an Otter Britanic. First class but expensive.
I would recomend the words Membrain, Auto dump and
Made-to-measure but although I can say Otter are good
so are lots of other companies.

That's the reasonable answer. The unreasonable one is
at http://www.nigelhewitt.co.uk/diving/...x.html#drysuit

I would not normally respond to this but the original respondent's
address seems to be Australian (@telstra.com).

I agree with your sentiments that membrane (note?) is the go, mine is a
DUI suit and I very rarely use it seeing as I live just north of Sydney
(winter approaches) so that it looks as good as new although pretty
well eight years old. Yes, it has the shoulder auto dump and, yes, I
use it to keep comfortably warm and use the wing to keep me at
equilibrium.

There are a number of Oz manufacturers now (eight years ago when I
first had it I was looked upon as if I were a spaceman and there were
precisely none) but I have no idea of who they are.

I also agree with you, having done extensive research all those years
ago (thanks, DIR, for one) that a membrane suit is much preferable -
until the next you-beaut thing comes along.

Cheers,

Christian
