Wotcha, mate! I was born in Woolwich, but lived mostly in Cambridge. I'm now living about 2 hours north of Toronto.

We'll have to connect sometime and get some dives in.

Nice you to meet you, too, Serge.

The suit fits great! That is apart from the feet! What would you recommend I replace the boots with? Bearing in mind that I wear a size 15 shoe and and have Jet fins.

Pete... I know the Bare Trek boot only goes to a size 13, as the same as the drysuit boot. http://barescubadiving.com/canada/si...ts/default.asp

Give them a call or email and maybe they can make a size for you?
I have read in another forum (don't shoot me) that a lot of guys with a foot your size size get the socks and use a sneaker or light weight hiking boot.

Thanks for the info, Rob. And thanks again for doing the drive to Welland. Much appreciated.

Thumbs up

Well I'm a turbo soul fan now. If you can get turbo souls then I highly recommened it.

The added bonus is you should be able to use the same fins for both wet and dry.

Both my suits now have turbo soul style feet. Very functional.
