Best wetsuit for caving?

[huwg]

Good tip on the diving suits, saw a few potential.

I managed to luck across a Decathlon 4/3 mm wetsuit for "sea walking". Plus points, front zip, neoprene seems pretty stretchy on first try ons, end of line so £100, and comes with a whistle!
Minus points: collar isn't great and will be a bit flushy, zip on back and ankles!
I figure I can get someone to take out the back zip/ankle zips if they are a pain. Plan to pair with a 2mm vest so flushing should be less of an issue....

I never saw a wetsuit with front and back zipper I can see the advantage for lowering of the upper part of the suit eft and right beside your body when on the beach / dry warrmer area.

Just an update. I took the 4/3mm "sea walking" wetsuit for a spin down the Gournier a few weeks ago and it worked great. I used it with a neoprene vest underneat (2-3mm?) and wore my oversuit over the top and was toasty warm swimming my way up the streamway. I still didnt fancy swimming all the way back out the entrance lake though. The front and back zip combo made getting into it underground nice and easy comapred to back zip.
Looking forward to floating round some dales caves in comfort (ish) once the weather picks up.

Thanks for all the info on this thread to get to something useful!
