Just finished freedive pool class with dave at walins in san mateo and loved it! Now its time to invest in a open-cell 7mm. Any suggestions on good brands to look for? I like the way omer looks. Need to try on before hand. Wheres s good location to try on and purchase??
 Tried on a riffe suit and loved it. Very easy to get in and out of and fit well. Was highly recommended here with 10% discount.
 though $503 out the door doesnt seem too bad.

Here is a link to Jon Lata,s page. He is putting on a class this coming weekend. If you are a member on Nor Cal Underwater Hunter, check out the "Classes" section. This weekends class will be held in the bay area, depends on weather, and its $250. I have heard nothing but great things from people who have taken this class, several of which made it to 100 feet!!!

Never used one but heard really good reviews about it.call Sacramento dive shop they carry them.
My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

I took this class a year ago and it was a great changer.  Both Eric and Jake are excellent instructors.  Check them out.
