Wetsuits for BIG guys

As I looked through a few sizing charts on the Scubatoys website, I noticed that most (even the XXXL) to to a 43" waist. So what about a 48" waist, can you get wetsuits for that size? I would like to avoid custom if possible as I know Nothing about diving and don't want to invest too much before I decide just how much I like it.

Any insight, websites, links, or ideas would be welcomed.

Check Pinnacle, which ST carries and they can also get what is in the Pinnacle catalog but not on their web site. The Pinnacle sizing chart is at Pinnacle Aquatics . I have a Pinnacle suit (in a smaller size), have tried on a number, and would recommend them as a quality diving suit manufacturer. They have an XXXL size with waist that covers 45"-48". They also have sizes XXXXL and King 1 and King 2 that aren't listed on the sizing chart but are listed in individual wetsuit listings on their web site.

Just tuck it down the leg of your wetsuit.

Oops just reread your original post

One thing you may want to consider is the amount of weight you will need in relation to the thickness of the wetsuit you may want to try a custom drysuit rather then a large amount of neoprene.
