My New 'GUE-Spec' DUI TLS350
I have been diving my Otter Skin trilaminate drysuit for over 8 years now and it has served me well. However, it was a stock size and is quite roomy, in addition it has large 'Wellington boots' which mean I've always needed to dive quite heavy and wear gators to help manage my buoyancy. So when the latex wrist seals gave out at the beginning of the year I figured it was time for a new suit.
During our South China Seas Wreck Expedition in October 2008 I had Gideon Liew measure me up for a new DUI TLS350 drysuit. This crucial piece of gear is a serious investment and it is really important to ensure that the sizing is done accurately.
DUI have an 11 step process for ordering a custom drysuit (see form here) which includes 21 separate body measurements. Gid took about an hour to methodically work through the form and ensure everything was done correctly and all the various options were explained.
