Re: Advice on a drysuit
. I think their customer service can best be summed up as an "it's not my problem" attitude. ... Bob (Grateful Diver) That can be said of any company or service, which doesn't justify. It depend primarily on the individuals handling it and their integrity or lack there. I do hope you get ...

Re: Advice on a drysuit
What I dont like about the built in boots is the air that gets trapped in them. Although the apollo has rather bulky boots that dont compress easily. On another note, I didnt even notice BARE's SB suit till today's MMM dive. Looks to be pretty nice, although almost as expensive as DUI. I'll deff be ...

Re: Advice on a drysuit
While the Bare Techdry is a very nice suit, the turnoff for me is the built in boots, which traps air and limits the amount of insulation if you want an extra pair of socks. Also makes takes up more room in the rubbermaid tub.

Re: Advice on a drysuit
What I dont get about Whites is how well they market their product but only warrant it for 2 years :nutty: / 3 on the fuision I think because it has welded seams.

Re: Advice on a drysuit
I got to say I'm not crazy about pockets. Curious if optional on DUI FLX Extreme strikes the right note save the price, but for the quality I would eat it. The fusion is quite appealing though for the fit and mobility. Does the bullet skin trap air between the layers? And post dive... does it trap w...

Advice on a drysuit
Hi all. I need some advice on buying a new drysuit. :dontknow: I would like to stay below the 3k mark, and would prefer a shell over neoprene. Quality and durability are the important factors I want out of a suit. While I have an apollo it doesnt fit me well and is fairy uncomfortable at depth, and ...

Re: Mukilteo currents?
Port of harbor for me is the T-dock with better than 50 dives there. I've dove in the steepest of tide changes and and at dead slack. 98% of the time the current is easily manageable if ur legs are in shape. That being said I've also had to pull my knife out in a hurry and dig in and hold on for 2 m...
