Re: Great Video of an almost dreadful mistake
ya know what would be cool? in a group have a wireless transmitter that shows there air like red green blue or 1 2 3 and etc so the divemaster can monitor all there remaining air just by looking at his wrist, but heaven forbid if he or she mixed it up!

Yesterday I did my first dive with the dry suit after it came back from the repair shop. I did start from scratch!

Re: BCD.....or BP/W
I, too, am a fan of the BP/W setup. Before I started diving dry I had a new, hybrid jacket-style BCD w/integrated weight pockets. It was fine when I wore a wetsuit, and I liked it. However, the first time I tried putting it on over my drysuit, I was really uncomfortable. Not to mention I needed, li...

Re: looking into a drysuit.....(link inside)
I've been diving a D6 for well over a year now, and I really like it. I don't use an undergarment, because the Neoprene suit is sufficient by itself, at least for me. I wear a 1mm Henderson dive skin under it just to keep the rubber off my skin and wick away some of my omnipresent sweat, and have y...

Re: looking into a drysuit.....(link inside)
Thanks! I thought it was a great buy considering the other prices out there and the original price brand new (1000ish) I am pretty much dumbfounded on drysuits and what would be best for me. I think I'm about the same size as h20 doc so medium should be fine!
