Instructions for getting the right size suit As all Seaskin Custom Divewear is made-to-measure it is vital that you supply us with the correct body measurements in centimetres. You will will need: a cloth tape measure, a "builders' type" measure and an A4 size book. Wear normal indoor clothes and remove shoes. Do not attempt to do the measurements on your own as this will give inaccurate results. Print out this page and follow the pictures to get accurate measurements. |

 Body cordThe body cord (a big loop going over the shoulder and between the legs) is measured using the builders' tape (most cloth tapes are too short). It is important that the curve across the tape is facing towards the body so the tape does not kink. Put the tape over the shoulder as close to the neck as possible and under the crutch as tight as is comfortable. Ensure that you stand with a straight back and that trousers are hitched up as high as possible.
