Re: Hood Recommendations

Spyder K01 makes a 8 and 5 mm hood in various sizes. Can order online and they have sizing chart. 8 mm here is the best I’ve found! Highly recommended, worth it but a bit pricey

Re: Denmark Diving - Lighthouse & Sobadet

Thanks for the super thorough descriptions and pictures! The first part makes me glad and thankful we get to dive around here all the time. But the pictures of the ‘decorated war bonnet cousin’ is really cool! Glad you had a ‘layover’ there and got to see family too.
