Namron make custom suits for rec and pro alike (such as film crews etc)

They are very open to idea's and talking through what you want in the suit, if you have a chat with them, i'm sure they can sort you something out.

I'd seriously recommend O'Three. I've dived a couple of their wetsuits for a number of years and they work very well. They're also robust and although this isn't essential, they do look the biz. BTW I was in Somerset yesterday with a bunch of cave divers including Rick Stanton. He was just about to go caving and pulled his O'Three wetsuit out of his Landie. Whilst it was battered, it was still in good nick. (And he does silly amounts of caving and cave diving). Whereas some of the other wetsuits I saw on other divers had definately seen better days.

Onto suits for the curvier lady, I worked with a Rubenesque Dive Guide in Egypt who bought a bespoke suit from O'Three. Bearing in mind she was in the water every day, the suit looked great after two years wear.

In addition the service you receive from O'Three is outstanding. They make you feel very special, whilst delivering high quality suits that work.
