Depends on what kind of diving you are likely to be doing for the most part.
I know from other posts of yours that you are interested in Caves and
Wrecks. With this in mind I would recommend the suits that I am familiar
with. I currently have and dive a DUI TLS350 shell suit. I am lusting after
their new offering in this category, the CLX450 I think is their stock
number. I do recommend if you choose a shell type suit that you purchase a
custom fitted suit. Shell suits tend to be baggier and as a result of this
cause a bit more drag.

I also have several dives on their neoprene CF200 suit. I do not
particularly like this suit, or neoprene suits in general in drysuits. My
shell suit is pretty tough and I am pretty tough on it. I have poked a few
holes in it and have had to patch it between dives. Not an option with a
neoprene suit. The neoprene suits also take forever to dry vs about 1/2 hour
for the shell suits.

I also have an OS systems shell suit that I do not particularly like.

Mike
