We measured large-angle quasielastic scattering for the spherical {sup 16,17,18}O+{sup 92}Mo systems at deep sub-barrier energies. This is a process sensitive to the surface region of the nuclear potential which can be used to probe surface diffuseness. The derived diffuseness values are of the order of 0.70 fm for the three systems, larger than predicted by previous works on similar systems.
