I have never used a wetsuit before, and have not been TOO cold diving at different times of the year in Cozumel. Because I don't know how warm of a wetsuit I will need in Bonaire, I am hesitant to buy one before I go. I am 5'7", average build. Will I have a hard time finding something like a Henderson Hyperstretch or Gold wetsuit on Bonaire at a reasonable price? Anyone happen to know approximately how much they cost on Bonaire? Can I rent a good quality wetsuit at Buddy Dive (where we are staying)? Thanks,

Edward

Edward,

When are you going?

My husband dives warm water (Cabo San Lucas, Bonaire) with just a tshirt and shorts, and is hot...I on the otherhand wear a full 3mm:-) Buddy's does rent wetsuits...

If you want to buy a wetsuit online, I would go to your local dive shop and try on a few suits to see what fit you like, then order online.

Buddy's Equipment Rentals

Have Fun!

Edward, no problem. There is a regular gathering of BTers at Gibis on Tuesday nights at 6:00. Also if you go under "everything else" and look for the "july btalkers, who will be there?" thread I can add you to the spreadsheet if you like:-)
