If Yoga can keep your back straight, when you're carrying that much 'weight' at the front...it must be good!

Shouldn't give this trade secret away, but - Years ago when I worked for a dive school, one of the first things you did on a course, was to fit your customers up with kit - Being able to look at a person's phisique, and then pick a wetsuit for them first go was a knack. One school I worked for had wetsuits that zipped up at the front - so if a customer came along with the 'attributes' of the young lady above, it was not unknown to give them a wetsuit that was 1 size too small...and let them try and put it on for a while, before recomending a bigger one ;)

Obviously, this is what I saw other instructors doing, and would never do such a crass thing myself O:-)

A Land Rover forum that I'm a member of has a rule - pictures, or it didn't happen..... ;)

Judders - If only we (I mean 'they' ;) ) could have got away with photos - At one shop we had a suit called 'the angel suit'... It wasn't the smallest, but any chick who could fit it, had to have the body of an angel :P

I'm not sure it would be appropriate to post photos of past customers here - so here's one of me 'on the job':

Chuck: Wetsuits look great on fit chicks, but this photo is 7 years old - After the last 5 years behind a desk it would take a large tub of grease and a 6 foot shoe horn to get me in that suit now...would not be a pretty sight :lol:

A dry suit is not an option, unless you like constriction and claustrophobia
