Wetsuits, Diving and Water Sports Accessories,
Customized to Your Specific Needs

Dear Customers and Friends: The Summers family and Terrapin Wetsuits are relocating to our new larger office and workshop in Center Point, Texas effective June 2012.

All orders for new suits, mini hoods and alterations that have been received and accepted as of May 1 will be completed and returned to our customers before the end of May. To keep our high level of quality and service we cannot accept any NEW orders until the move has been completed. Please do not ship any suits for alterations until the new address is published. Watch this space and our announcements when we open for business at the new location.

Thank you for your patronage and patience during this time and I look forward to continue serving all your neoprene needs beginning July 2012.

Terrapin constructs truly custom fitted wetsuits—either from the latest technology in Neoprene or Polartec where you choose the colors and style, or by customizing a pre-manufactured suit. Either way, your suit will be tailored to your exact body measurements.

We want to make sure your custom wetsuit fits your every need. From the color(s), to the patterns and designs of your liking, as well as the size and shape of your body; Terrapin Wetsuits and Water Sports Accessories will make your custom wetsuit fit perfectly.

 

Can a Wetsuit be Altered? "Absolutely yes!" We know that sometimes you grow (or shrink) and your wetsuit doesn’t...so we provide expert wetsuit alterations to prolong the life of your wetsuit and maximize your diving comfort and protection. We can add zippers, make repairs, renovate wetsuits, add special features for adaptive or handicapped divers, produce matching accessories...in general, offer the kind of custom work usually unavailable anywhere else.

Terrapin offers Wetsuit Repair for all manufacturer's wetsuits, triathlete suits, water-ski suits, dive skins, and polartec suits. We'll be happy to work with you to find the best solution for both your diving comfort and your pocketbook.  Telephone consultation is free, so contact us to discuss your suit's condition to determine if it should be repaired, altered, or replaced.

Our most popular item is the Terrapin Minihood.  You may have seen the recent article in Dive Training Magazine, highlighting the benefits of our Minihood for making you more visible to your dive buddies.  Since the largest percent of body heat loss occurs through the head, these 3 mm neoprene Minihoods will keep you warmer than a do-rag, bandana, or fleece hood could.  We can custom build a Minihood with virtually whatever embellishment you'd like.

If you dive the Gulf of Mexico, you're probably wondering about the impact of the BP Horizon Oil Spill.  Offshore Texas and the Flower Gardens National Marine Sanctuary appear largely unaffected (as of year end, 2010).  For an update on diving conditions around the Gulf of Mexico, check out these links: http://www.gulfstatediving.com/ and http://flowergarden.noaa.gov/education/oilspill.html .
