Very early divers had to be very involved in the sport as most equipment was hand made, like wetsuits. Alec shows how he ordered a wet suit kit in the mail, cut all the parts from a paper pattern, then glued each piece together into his very first custom built wetsuit in 1965.
*** In this episode of Vintage Scuba ***
- wet suit kit ordered from "Central Skindiver's" of Jamaica, New York, USA for $19.95 USD
- kit included a sheet of 1/8 inch neoprene rubber
- divers cut their suit size following directions on a paper pattern
- use the supplied glue to fit each piece together
- finished wet suit was a jacket with beaver tail and high waisted pants
- coloured stripping was $1.95 to cover all the seams for that "Cousteau" wetsuit look
- rustproof zippers were $0.55 for a 6 inch or $075 for 9 inch
