The Cressi Apnea Suit is a 2-piece open cell suit sold at an affordable price, it includes a hooded 3.5mm jacket and 3.5mm long pants. With it being double lined neoprene and an open cell inner, this suit is perfect for summer or winter diving as it will keep you warmer for longer in winter and in summer you can open the neck and cool down with fresh water. The super skin seals around the ankles, wrists and the neck. You can wear this suit for hours and not feel a thing, even in the coldest of Australian waters.
With open cell wetsuits, you need a lubricant to put them on due to the open inner material that is extremely sticky. If you do not use a lubricant, it will tear the inner suit. A great lubricant is hair conditioner. This particular suit is well priced and great for not only beginners but also the advanced diver. Open cell inner is the most commonly used by spearfishermen and freedivers, the open cell rubber forms a suction effect against the skin which stops water from getting in, allowing you to stay warmer for longer.
Due to the fact that when spearfishing or freediving you could be in the water up to 7 hours in a session, this suit is a perfect pick. The wetsuit includes a 3mm non slip loading pad for chest loading spearguns and padded knees and elbow pads for protection. In summer, you can take the hooded jacket off and wear the pants by themselves, however you will need to invest in a loading pad.
