That, and I want to have pockets so whites demo day should iron all this out...

I dont personally have one, I have a Whites Trilam, but my local shop uses them for all of their OW courses and rentals. He likes them because they fit all different body types and are so durable. Out of a class of 14 he says usually 13 of the people will fit into the 4 standard sizes. His suits still look like new after a year and even if there is a problem then he only has to change the Lycra outer layer.

I'm from Comox originally. Did my OW out of Pacific Pro dive in Courtenay. First two ocean dives were off Quadra Island, it was nice! Where are some good spots where you live?

there are 5 good spots or more in parksville / ladysmith area i dive mostly in the victoria area. have fun in your rescue course if you can try and take it in the spring there is a lot of going in and out of the water and it gets darn cold i know of a few course that had to go an extra weekend as most froze even with dry suits.

Yah. I've never been cold with the drysuit I have right now, even on my rescue course. That's why I'm not sure if the fusion will be better.

I'd like to dive ogden point in victoria this year. I snorkled it a few years ago and was looking down at divers but my friends weren't certified so we had to snorkel. Oh well.

I havnt actually been diving all that long so most of my dives have been concentrated in the Ladysmith/ Nanaimo/ Parksville area as well as vacation diving. As my gear and experience accumulates i will start to expand my area. Hoping to do some Victoria dives soon as well as the club has weekend outing planned for the Browning Wall area up island.
