A good excuse to buy the newly improved (?) SK8.
Once my burning hatred for Suunto wears off, I probably will order one.

Drysuit wrist seal. Seven years old and I use dry gloves anyway so not a big deal. Will have to order a set from DRIS.
7 years was a good run, were they latex?
Another dive, another failure ... the first dive with recently rebuilt regulators. Just after descending, my dive buddy gave me the Japanese signal for no and thumbed my dive. Upon surfacing, he said my HP hose was leaking. I swam back to the beach and then walked up the hill, took off my BP&W and put it in the rinse tank. There were about 100 places where the hose was leaking from the first stage down to the SPG, not at the fittings but in the rubber itself.
Now I have to find an HP hose in Japan. It will probably cost at least $100 US, but I'll try not to think about it as I pay in ¥. It's best to never convert ¥ to $ because then you realize you just paid $20 for a watermelon or $100 for an HP hose.
