As far as custom.... Call Aqua Adventures in Burbank. They carry Excel and Pinnacle suits. Excel seems to fit better for Men and Pinnacle for Women. I fit perfectly in Excel so did not go that route.My better half did not quite fit right in either (she is super petite with big chest and hips) So we had her fitted for a custom made Excel 7.6.5 Suit. It cost an extra $60 but she had a taylor made suit in about 3-4 weeks by Excel whom I think is one of the most reliable in the biz. They sized her up and durring the order process if the factory had any questions or concerns they would call to verify the measurements so that it was a perfectly made suit. Completely worth the extra few dollars.

If you choose dry suit, go DUI... they are local (relatively) and also are meticulous on measurements...

Just my $.02
