You can often buy good used wet suits from dive shops that sell off their older rental suits. This often happens in the fall. We used to get them that way regularly in Austin. Below is a message from a shop in Maine that's selling used suits now.
Mark Minton [email protected] From: Frank Mooney [mailto:[email protected]] Subject: Used Wetsuits for Caving Hello Grotto President or Representative - Our family runs a whitewater rafting company and sells used wetsuits to cavers in our off-season. We have contacted NSS members for over ten years and made lots of folks happy with good wetsuits at a reasonable cost ... much better than buying new and expensive suits just to beat up in the caves! We have an array of wetsuit sizes from Youth Sizes to 4XL. Suits are in solid shape - no holes, bad zippers,etc - we turn our entire stock of over 400 wetsuits over every few seasons with sales like this. Manufacturers of our suits include Northwest River Supplies, Atlan Productions and Henderson. We can meet individual and group orders. To determine sizing, we ask for height and weight and we are good at working it out to get the right size to the cavers. Prices generally range from $30-50 per piece. If interested, please forward this message to members of your grotto. We have sold hundreds of suits to cavers by using the NSS website.

We are getting close to finishing. Our next trip will be on Saturday, January 6. This is an invitation to join us. We will meet at the gate to Cave With a Name (CWAN) promptly at 9:00 a.m. that Saturday morning. A wetsuit is MANDATORY. One could be rented from a dive shop. The cave has deep water through about half of the suggested tourist route, but swim fins are not necessary. You can pull yourself along on the walls. A map will be provided showing the suggested route to the Shower Stall waterfall, a scenic destination. Good photographs and videos can be had if your gear is packed in a totally waterproof container. Camping at CWAN on Saturday night is encouraged. We will have a roaring campfire and Texas caver-style camaraderie. Questions? Ask. Bill Steele [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
