Hello Roger,
First allow me to thank you fully for all the efforts that you personally
made towards the Canadian team receiving the Picasso custom suits. Our fantastic results came from being so comfortable in the water. Our comfort level was a direct result of the suits fit and great thermal properties.
Rest assured Roger we have been and will continue to praise Picasso suits as the best free diving suits available on the market. With your help and our team work we were extremely pleased with our results in the Nice competition. Once again thank you very, very much! ...

Roger,
This is the first email I am writing after returning from a 10-day trip to San Benitos Islands and Guadalupe Islands. I was anxious to tell you how much I LOVE my new wetsuit. I can't say enough good things about it.

It was so comfortable and WARM ! ! ! I usually get cold after an hour or so in 60-70 degree water. But . . . not this time ! ! ! Also . . . I think the camo pattern attracted yellowtail ! ! They
were coming so close to me that I finally had to shoot about a 20-25 pounder ! ! ! I always carry a gun as a second shot (if needed) for my husband, but I usually don't hunt. But . . . the yellowtail seemed to flock around me so I had to take advantage of the moment.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Roger ! ! !
A VERY happy customer

P. S. My husband LOVES his suit, too.

Hi Roger,
Here is a thank you letter from me. My suit arrived 5 working days after you sent it, and there were no duty, freight, or GST charges. In Alberta we do not have PST due to the money accumulated by the constant raping of the environment, so there were none of those charges either. I went diving today at a lake near Banff called Lake Minnewanka to try out the suit(5mm Hombra BioTermic, 9lb belt). The ice came off the lake last week, and it snowed heavily as I entered the water. I swam out to a marker where the depth is 65', the deepest accessible part of the lake via swimming. I dove for an hour before I started to get cold, and then came out of the water. The part of me that was really cold was my hands; the only part of me not covered with Picasso material. I was wearing some other brand of 5mm gloves. My feet were toasty warm in the 5mm Picasso Termic socks. Here's the kicker.... the water was 4 degrees celsius(around 39 degrees Fahrenheit I believe). At a depth of -65ft, the water was around 2 degrees Celsius(35.5 F). I was comfortable, flexible, and happy. I have freedived in the same conditions with a 2pc 7mm White's ADS suit(18lb belt), and a 5mm OMER Processional suit (14 lb belt), and was always cold in these suits, even with a double hood and lobster gloves. Now I believe what people have said about these suits, and will do my best to tell others. I will never dive in any other kind of wetsuit. Thanks again for the outstanding personal service.
Take care, sincerely. Erik
P.S. feel free to quote me in any circumstance.

Hiya Roger,
I spent three hours in the waters of Carmel yesterday, did not go deep because my ears are blocked from illness. I wanted to tell you I am EXTREMELY impressed with my new 7mm. suit. Never in the twenty years of surfing Northern CA have I climbed out of the water warmer than when I entered. My friend could not believe how hot my hands were when I popped off my gloves and suit top. Again, many thanks for importing these fine suits. ...
....I look forward to many hours of fun within the confines of my second skin (size 52 was perfect-required no alterations other than to add a chest pouch for my knife).

I did my first cold water dives over the Memorial Day weekend in my new Picasso 7mm BioTermic For the first time I felt comfy and it's colder than ever this year at 45-50F ...
... This new suit is also real soft which made paddling my kayak easy compared to my older cardboard stiff suit.

Dear Roger,
My fins arrived today and I can't wait to try them out this vacation. I just wanted to thank you for such superb service and merchandise. I look forward to doing business with you again in the future.
Thank you once again,

Dear Mr. Yazbeck,
I know I speak for all of Team Canada, when I thank-you from the bottom of our hearts for your generous sponsorship. I can honestly say, your suits made our success possible.
As you probably know the World Championships are being held in Ibiza, Spain this year, and once again we'll be able to place well and show off your brilliant suits....
.... Thank you so much for your support.
Calista Johnston and Team Canada.

Incredible!
Roger,
... I've been able to get out diving a few times in the Hombra suit. It is very warm and comfortable. I cannot thank you enough for your guidance and assistance in my deciding on this suit. And the fit is great. Thank you. I've spent all day in and out of 55-57 F water and have stayed warm...

....The wetsuit was nothing short of awesome. Thank you very much. It was soooooo comfortable, and fit perfectly!! What a joy. I don't think I'll ever put the (other_brand_name_wetsuit) on again. I would like to repair it so I can have it as a spare to use if someone visits me or something. I love the Picasso!! Hope all is well with you. Warmest Regards

Hello,
My name is David Sereni and I have been diving with Simotal Black Line wet suits for about 4 years now. I understand that you are now one company. I can't imagine using any other suit. They are so comfortable...

Roger,
I am thrilled with the new wetsuit. It is truly a revolutionary product. I dove today in 52 degree water for 2.5-2.75 hours and was so warm that on the long kick out and back to the reef I had to pull the hood off to stay cool. I don't think I even got wet until an hour into my diving, which was more likely sweat. The suit is so flexible and comfortable that it feels like having nothing on at all. Wow....I can't say enough...
....Hey, one of the guys I was diving with even commented on my bottom times. I am sure the psychology of the new suit helped, as well as the improved freedom and warmth.
Thanks for making my diving so much more enjoyable. Can't wait to get the mask and gloves. A friend I was diving with today has a Sombra. He told me all the same things as you about the mask. He is thrilled with it! Fish watch out. Thanks for all the help with the order and making this happen on such short order.
A new lifetime fan of Picasso and Roger,
Greg Vontz, Oakland, CA
