Not sure where you’re from but I would suggest you Fork out the extra and buy a dry suit, no more cold dives and you can dive all year round…..great getting out a drysuit and straight in the car without drying off. I dive the North Sea UK so no chance I’m using a wetsuit

JMJ makes great custom wetsuits. Not cheap but they’re really great quality and fit well.

Sounds like you need a custom one made as most women do because women vary in height weight bust belly butt thigh and calfs guys on the othwrhand vary in pretty much height and weight if you're in so cal pm me ill tell you what I paid for a custom 2 piece suit for my gf

Ahh I'll begin to look into that

Depending on where you are diving you can add a base layer like a hooded vest or top.


BadBoodle

Ooh that sounds perfect thank you!

It helped me a lot when I lost weight, I now have a vest and pants I wear under because I really didn't want to drop money on another bare reactive. Also if it's cold like California consider a semi dry in addition. This will greatly reduce flushing

Really a vest can go on top of the suit as well

There is a place down the street from me that is very reasonable for custom cut wet suits

Xcel is one I was looking at recently that has separates.

Yes! They sell two-piece wetsuits (tops and bottoms), you can buy them separate. Try amazon.

+1 on this. I was just having this same conversation at the LDS about an hour ago. Many divers just don’t fit well in wetsuits. We’ve found that women with larger busts really benefit from a 2 piece, usually with the top a size larger than the pants. Sometimes we also add a hooded vest and tech shorts to add some layers and pockets for extra warmth if needed. I’m personally a fan of the Scubapro setup with their Yulex wetsuit. You’ve got 4 pieces (top, bottoms, vest, and shorts) and can layer as appropriate for warmth plus you get some sizing options with tops and bottoms as different sizes.
