Where can I buy a neoprene wetsuit in Sharm?
Fellow tourists!
Who knows, tell me - is it possible to buy a women's wetsuit in the Old Market? If yes, where and how much? What is better - to carry with you (buying from yourself for 120 euros) or buy directly from Charme ???
Thank you all in advance!

Yes, you can. Not only him, but all the bells and whistles for diving. Find out where the Metro store is located, there is a good equipment store nearby.
There are also shops in Naama Bay, some of them with fixed prices (bargaining is not possible). One of them sold a mask for about $1,800.
In Dahab, everything can be bought cheaper.
I'm not sure about the price.

We have masks/fins. We are not going to Sharm for the first time, but earlier we were not interested in a wetsuit. This time we decided to go at the end of February, and because. I have a "merzlyachka" wife, I needed this attribute of a diver. The problem is that in our city to buy a women's wetsuit is a problem. Everywhere only men for spearfishing. Buying on order is like a pig in a poke - it is not known whether the size will fit. To sew under the order - we do not have time any more. Therefore, I will be very grateful if you tell me where they are in the Old Market and how much.

The old market has a very good store with fixed prices and pleasant unobtrusive sellers. Everything for diving is sold there. I can’t say anything about the price, but I know that there are different price categories depending on the manufacturer.

I insist on a store in the "Metro" area. It's next to Old "Metro" and literally two or three buildings away there is a store.
The price depends on the thickness of the suit. I have a triple, it is very difficult to put on. Moreover, you need boots below, a suit on top, because if you put the suit on the body, there will be a lot of squeezing of the limbs.
Therefore, choose one that fastens with a zipper at the bottom. Honestly, I don’t remember the cost, but what you can measure is for sure. How tall is your wife and how many kg does she weigh?
The suit should fit snugly.

Height is about 165-170, weight 43kg. Skinny :)

I'll try to give you a recommendation tomorrow, I'll ask the experienced.
And specify the height, because 5 cm when buying this item is important.
аватар P_Serg
already specified - 165cm.

I would suggest buying a house...
but if you decide in Sharm
then the best equipment store on the promenade in Naama Bay, on the ring in the trough center, on the second floor. (this is the largest center, at the end of the embankment)
prices in Euro, fixed
With me, a couple bought a short suit for their wife, a mask, boots, flippers for more than 700 euros.
In Old I was in "Metro" - the class of things is much lower.

in the same place on the promedan along the embankment in the basement there is a small shop of a lower class - there were costumes there too.

Here is a report on the work done. Buy a suit not by order, but only measure it. The parameters of the spouse do not fit the standards of the costume parameters a little. When selling, there are special tables - height, weight. Look at them, and, based on what has been written, measure them. It is better, they say, to measure a short one. It is important that it fits the body tightly. I put on a suit with ordinary plastic bags. leg into the bag, you drag it on, the second one in the same way, and the hands too.
As for spearfishing suits, they are generally worn with shampoo, but it is not suitable for diving in the sea.

Thanks everyone for the advice!
But still the question remains open: is it still better to buy at home (120-150 euros is the cheapest option, and there is practically no choice) or for this money (or maybe cheaper :)) you can buy in Sharm ??? It is in the Old City (everything is expensive in Naama). Saving heavily this year...
аватар elenako
For 120-150 you can buy there. It can be cheaper. The quality depends on the price. If you use it often, it may make sense to buy it once and for all. The shorter one will cost less. My costume consists of two parts - one in the form of a jumpsuit with bare hands, and the second in the form of a closed dollie with long sleeves. In November, I put on the top and was very pleased with it. The suit also keeps you on the surface.
If you order, you can choose any option. In many colors. But the most important thing for you is to correctly determine the size.
Well, next time buy it, but for now, try to rent it in the same store. Not the best option, but still...
Have a good rest!
аватар elenako
Yes, and I want to clarify about my suit - I have a diving five.
аватар elenako
What are the results of our advice? Did you buy the suit, and if so, where?
аватар P_Serg
Thanks to everyone for the advice, especially elenako. Just got back from Sharm. The sea is super, but still if you swim far and long (we swam a kilometer and a half in each direction from the beach), and even more so if you dive, you definitely need a wetsuit. We still bought a suit for my wife at home - we ordered an individual tailoring of a suit (mono-overalls, five) in Sigma (Kyiv), we received it in a day from departure (it cost 145 euros). I bought myself a short three (Chinese, factory) in Sharm, in a store near the Metro (only for $ 35!). Indeed, there is the best store in this regard. We looked at all possible stores both in Naama and Sharm. This store has normal prices for European brands (Cressi, TUSA, etc.), and the choice is normal. The store is located directly next door (on the left) to the Metro market in the Old Market area (200 meters from the market).
Thanks again for the great advice!
