Was keeping an eye on this thread for this reason. I really miss having pockets when diving wet, and I wish more wetsuit manufacturers carried at least one line of suits with (decent sized) pockets from the factory.

Yeah, that's the closest I've been to one and it as completely unintentional. I think the shark surprised us coming around the corner and we surprised the shark, viz was a little iffy and we met right at the tip of the bow - basically we were going counter-clockwise around and it was going...

They will get pretty close to you, they don't seem too skittish at all usually. A few weeks ago we dove on the Aeolus in NC - there was a decent current so most divers stayed on the stern where the boat was tied in (wreck is in multiple pieces in almost an L shape). Normally you have pretty...

I haven't tried those, I did buy the Waitley 9.0 Ah batteries which many people were recommending in the beginning, they don't last anywhere near as long as my Dewalt 9.0 Ah. I'll be selling them off most likely, it was worth a shot but the DeWalts work better for me. I'd recommend sticking to...

The 305345662 part number looks like a DCB612 - same battery just not in a 2-pack.

I have the Dewalt 9 Ah FlexVolts and have yet to use more than half the battery (usually only use one bar) in a full day of what is usually 3 dives. Now the Dewalt 9 Ah batteries DO get about double the off-brand 9 Ah batteries I also bought. Maybe not double, but significantly more. So I...

You're going to want a little more experience before going out of OC. You're not too far from Kent Island Scuba and they offer pretty frequent charters out on the Chesapeake from what I understand. I haven't been out with them yet but I hear it's a good option for staying wet.

Otter can do the Kubi/zippered combo, I just don’t think the zippered pocket is featured on their website (which could use some updating). But it would cost a little more than the Seaskin. Where Seaskin always wins is VALUE. Like the earlier Acura/Bentley comparison, there is likely no better...

Welcome to SB from right down the road in Ashburn VA.

I never have but recently discussed it with a buddy. We have DPVs, if you don’t keep in mind it’s about 2,100 feet from shore. I think it’s about 30’ depth. The paddle wheels are still intact.

I think I've only flown with my regs 3-4 times, but every single time the regs get flagged on the x-ray. I had one occasion in Atlanta where the person who flagged them got at least 3 people to come look at them, they asked a few questions and the final person I spoke to told me there was...

I have a constant new PM notification (red 1 stamped on my inbox). It says an ongoing conversation I had was updated at 7:48 PM last night but there is no new message. No email notification either.

This person created a helper ring for this purpose, I believe they have a separate video somewhere on the ring itself.

I should add as well - make sure to get the Quick Neck system which is the 2nd generation, its much more flexible. Some drysuit manufacturers still offer the Neck Tite (1st generation), not sure about Seaskin. For further flexibility there is the SiTech Orust system (3rd generation) but this...

My shoulders are roughly 18" across, I'm not that big. I have the Quick Neck system on a different trilam suit, so take that into consideration, but it's still the same ring. My harness sits outside the ring so as far as comfort goes there's no issues, there MAY be some mobility loss when...

I have those boots. No matter how I tie them they come undone during the dive. What I do now and has worked so far is I pull the laces tight then snug the clip as far down as it will go. Then I don’t tie at all, I just wrap the laces around the ankle and stick them under the Velcro tab in the...

The 9 Ah and 12 Ah are the same size/weight. They are a tight fit but they go in. The 15 Ah is something like 2 lbs. heavier per battery, and I'm almost certain it was verified that it was bigger.
