How to Take Your Measurements

  • Waist Range: Measure around your natural waistline just above your hip bones. Measure while wearing the thickest exposure suit (wetsuit or drysuit) you intend to dive with.
  • Over The Shoulder (Torso Length): Measure from the top of your shoulder down around your waist/hip line and back up over the opposite shoulder in a loop.
