Did it come with flippers?, if so be careful driving with them on and I suppose it will save you looking for a loo while working ;)

Fairplay :)

wetsuit? surely you bought a drysuit !!!??? a drysuit fits over the top of your clothes and you stay dry underneath. a wetsuit works by getting wet. it holds the water in the suit and you would be wet all day. if you bought a wetsuit take it back and get the other sort. ( i dive all the time in a drysuit.)

Carry a large spare DI Bottle on your back just in case yours breaks,you can probably get a nice harness for it from the same shop.

classic example of a salesman taking advantage of someone who doesn't know what he needs..... a wetsuit will not do the job at all !!! fine for under water, useless for what you need. waterproof trousers and coat are the best way to go.

Barry, do you need any ski's for when the snow comes. Iv got a spare size 8 under the bed that don't fit, could give you them cheap. Bit of a bu gger standing on the hose all the time mind but you will get used to having them on.

Dry suits are too expensive to use for window cleaning. the hydrotech predator dry suit retails at about £500 [plus using a dry suit you will need someone to zip you up lol]
