Truli Wetsuits offers adventurous water women an alternative to mainstream wetsuits
Truli Wetsuits for women is the first wetsuit company that has committed itself to truly meeting the needs of female scuba divers. While working in the dive industry, CEO Mia Toose studied the women’s scuba diving market and began product development and testing. This year, Truli Wetsuits launched the Truli-Mi signature design that is perfect for the female form. Female divers identify strongly with the brand’s mission to provide a wetsuit for women that is high performance, warm, comfortable, and stylish. A women’s wetsuit that is true to the women who wear them.

The Truli-Mi signature design features a 3.5mm neoprene thickness lined with fleece for core warmth. It is a sleeveless shorty with a front zip and no velcro to catch hair, scratch skin or ruin bathing suits. The wetsuit is made of Ultraspan neoprene, which is very flexible and form fitting to all shapes and sizes. Glide Skin covers the chest and back, which further maintains warmth on surface intervals and boat transits. Manufacturing of the wetsuits is eco-friendly. The manufacturer uses natural rubber to produce the neoprene as opposed to the chemically created rubber from petroleum that many other companies use.
The response from the female dive community confirms that Truli Wetsuits is what women have been looking for. Customer Marilyn Hoffman reviews the Truli-Mi wetsuit: “I had the opportunity to dive in this suit before I purchased it. I was hesitant to say the least. I am a 5mm wetsuit diver with a 7mm hood in warm water and Mia claimed I would be warm and happy in this suit. I did not believe her but I tried it and LOVED it. It kept me warm and I was so comfortable. It is fast and easy to get on and off. When I received the email that they were for sale I bought one immediately. A must-have for any diver!”
In addition to scuba diving, Truli Wetsuits are used by female water sport enthusiasts who snorkel, freedive, kiteboard, wakeboard, kayak and Stand Up Paddleboard. Several professional water women endorse Truli Wetsuits and are actively promoting the brand. These include Jillian Morris-Brake, the founder of Sharks4Kids, and kiteboarder, Suami Cavallo of Italy/Dominican Republic among several others.

Oyster Diving have recently been given exclusive access to offer scuba diving courses and fun dives at Mercers Lake, a beautiful lake near M25/Gatwick in the UK.
Oyster have just launched their own dive boat ‘The Blue Pear’ to explore various parts of the lake. Divers can glide around the underwater woodland, see lots of fish and decent visibility. Out of the water divers set up in the purpose built kitting up area, unwind in a warm shower, and off-gas in the café & licensed bar.
To celebrate the start of the summer season, AquaSports and Oyster Diving have teamed up to host a Star Wars-themed open day on the 4th May.
Guests will be able to enjoy discounted tasters of various watersports including Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), Canoeing and Sailing. Oyster Diving will be joined by Apeks and possibly other dive manufacturers to display their latest products. Demo gear will be available for qualified divers and Oyster’s sales support team will be on hand for customers with any questions.
Divers wishing to get in the water will need to book in via Oyster Diving’s website where you can also choose to hire any equipment. Non-divers and well behaved dogs are very welcome!
As well as the watersports there will also be music, food and a licensed bar. The fun starts at 10am and finishes around 4.30pm.
Please come along, wear your finest Stormtrooper or Princess Leia outfit and enjoy the fun!

Dive Rite was founded in 1984 by technical divers and cave explorers with the goal to make the very best scuba diving equipment available. Gear that can be trusted on the most extreme dives and exceed expectations in any environment: reef, wreck, cave, or quarry.
The Nomad Ray is the product of years of design, development, field testing, and feedback from some of the world’s leading sidemount divers and instructors.
The Nomad Ray is available in black, blue, OD green, pink, or red. If you happen to find yourself in a tight spot, the Ray’s abrasion-resistant “skid plate” will have your back: providing wear protection exactly where it’s needed the most. SuperFabric® is a fast drying, highly durable, and slash-resistant material. The Nomad Ray Sidemount System is ready to perform in the toughest diving environments.
The Nomad Ray can be easily adjusted to comfortably fit all body types. The independently adjustable harness design can be quickly set up for any diver. Shoulder and waist webbing can be replaced independently if damaged or trimmed too short. The Nomad Ray uses a fast, tool-free bungee length adjustment system. Simply pull to the desired length, tie a single overhand knot, and tuck the excess into the integrated sleeve. A quick-adjust belly band with a custom moulded bungee hook keeps the wing wrapped snugly around the diver’s body.
A zipper on the inside of the Nomad Ray wing allows for access to three integrated weight pockets capable of holding up to five pounds of each of hard or soft weight.
