Gary,
I ordered a dry suit back in 1995 from Eugene Dive Shop (see below) for ~$390. I believe the dive shop custom made the suits and it was great for stream work. Other dive shops will probably do the same. Make sure to specify no valve and reinforced knees.

Greetings Fishy Types, I am looking for an inexpensive dry suit suitable for snorkeling in small streams. About ten years ago we used to buy suits like this from Camero in Austria (they were wind-surfing suits) but I can't seem to find them on Camero's web site. These suits could be put on over regular clothes and you could just hop in the stream and make your observations. They were rubberized heavy nylon and could tolerate immersion in shallow water without leaking. I don't want to spend more than $300 on such a suit and there is no need for purge valves or any scuba-type accessories. Does anyone know of anything like this? I'd like suggestions, even if they're out of my stated price range.
TIA, g2
