+1 .....normally i just rent it....

so far the sharkskin how much u get?

global scuba quoted me
Sharkskin promo b4 31jan:
2. Long sleeve (without zip): RM 500 (N/P: RM650)
3. Full suit: RM 1000 (N/P: RM1300)
4. Long pant: RM 500 (N/P: RM650)

but didnt take it during that period....thinking of getting it sometime in may..hope they will have another promo or other places sell cheaper then 500 ...plan to take 2pieces instead of a full suit..so i can mix match with others

Next to Ogival shop - Sun Paradise. They carry quite a range of swimming wear and accessories. Try checking out their prices.
You can also go to Jusco or Parkson swimming/sports section.

Remember to get slightly lower than your specs power, or you'll be floating and dizzy when you wear it.

I bought my full suit from Global Scuba. So far it's the only dive shop that brings the Sharkskin range into Malaysia. Got it for RM1000 as well, around August last year. That time already they told me promo price haha.

Have to admit, it is super comfy. A little cold in the water sometimes but it's windproof, damn chun. After night dive come out, wind blow also not cold lol.

Most guys will prefer to get 2 pieces instead of the full suit. Can wear with surf pants if water not very cold. I check the prices if I buy online from Australia and get someone to bring or ship it back, it's not that much cheaper, maybe like RM30-50 like that cheaper for the full suit. If you do find someone that is able to get Sharkskin at lower price, let me know. I'm thinking of getting their booties.

Thanks for the review.

im a new diver maa.....so this will be my 1st wetsuit...already have a scuba Pro rashguard (or whatever u spell that) haha..... + 1 arena long sleve( ) also comfy wear..haha..from pool to sea..haha.....sharkskin wetsuit simple looks/sounds tempting..sick of renting those wetsuits that i have to adjust my weights whenever i dive

Sharkskin is my 4th wetsuit lol. I have tons of rashguard but usually just wear my short sleeve Ripcurl under my wetsuit. Scubapro rashguard quite thin, you can wear it under your sharkskin if you afraid of cold.

Why not get the top piece first, I doubt you'll need to wear the bottom piece unless you can't stand the cold. Most people just wear rashguard and shorts go dive anyway.

yeah,wonder if I wait till MIDE/IDEX maybe can get good deals perhaps

Thanks for your suggestions..

Can somebody give pointer to me..whether need to wait for mide or just take OW course now? Coz I heard price for diving course at mide didn't get much discount. Only worth if want to buy equipment. Is it rite?

Get your OWD now. No need wait till MIDE, discount you get is insignificant.

No, cannot. From specifications its only up to 40 feet. You need up to 40 meter to use for scuba diving. The best is, buy normal compact camera + housing. Canon and Olympus has widest range.

Another company that in line with Sharkskin.
