How tight should it be? I purchased a Mares 5,4,3 wetsuit online, when I got it it I tried it on, too tight I thought. Went diving, after the dive it was a perfect fit, it seems everything moved to where it should be and fitted me like a glove, and very warm. Given the flexibility of the modern wetsuit neoprene, my advise is find one that Is perhaps a bit too snug.

When choosing a wetsuit, don't look for brands, even if you are a fan. Get the one that fits perfectly, regardless of what's printed on it.

Would be cool with a video about drysuit maintenance and how to store it, and if you have to store it in a bag how should you do it ? :)

Thanks for the videos … I need a wetsuit and my choice is down to the Fourth Element Proteus 2 or the Xeon’s … what is the difference between the two apart from price ? Thanks Terence ..

[@ellenmcknight4976]

Hi, thanks for your videos! I'm wondering about efficient layering - if you want to layer up, in which order should you do it? E.g. when layering two wetsuits on top of each other, or a vest, or a shortie on a full wetsuit etc...

[@Ruben-ef2sg]

That depends on what you'd find comfortable, I suppose. If you have a suit that's just a little big to wear on its own, you should wear it on the outside of course. I have a back zip full suit that came with a front zip shorty with a hood, barely any water coming in because of the zip placement.

Hi Mark
Thanks for useful informations.
I want to ask you about short fins like Apeks RK3, RK3 HD, Hollis F1 or Scubapro Jet fins. Mostly I dive in wetsuit 20-25 degrees warm water. And I don’t like fins to be very heavy. I watch you videos comparing rk3 and F1 and you choose RK3. But what if we add jet fins to this comparison. What is the best option?
I’m going to use it for sidemount diving.
Waiting for your help

[@thegreatneess]

depend on you
if you have floaty feet go for negative buoyancy fins like scubapro jet fins
if you have heavy feet go for positive buoyancy fins like rk3 or f1
best test is go underwater and stay still, flat and neutrally buoyant
your feet with fin shouldn't sink or rise
wearing heavy fin on heavy feet, you will dive like a seahorse
wearing floaty fin on floaty feet, your leg will try to rise and you dive upside down

Great! I don't like black wet suit. I want a German flecktarn camo Wetsuit......I can't find one. Preferably with matching fins. Gloves. Mask.

[@leopoldbloom4835]

Supposing you‘re from Germany: camo wetsuits are mainly used in spear fishing, which isn‘t done here, so they are hardly offered. You can find a vast choice in, for instance, Italian dive shops. Maybe check them out online or when you‘re on vacation around the mediterranean. Finding specifically German flecktarn may still be difficult, though.

Does the Compression of a Wetsuit Help with Leg Cramps? Or Sore Muscles?

[@chateaubourginel6646]

Meant to type Xenos ….

[@johnrainsman6650]

I need some advice. It's kind of embarrassing.

[@psychoticdaizyproductions569]

Too tight. Then it's just right.
