Right drysuit pocket, don't even realize it's there. I never needed it but that doesn't mean I never will.

It was not custom made which I realize ofcourse will never compare to the custom made suit I own now :). Climbing dykes in Zeeland for example was terrible because the suit was really stiff around the knees. Maybe the fit / model was just not the best for me... Therefore I prefer a trilam suit...

They are really costly yes but my Santi was custom made (to a certain extend), no extra costs. Same for my BZ400 undergarments. I have been really happy with the suit so far and after well over a 100 dives haven't experienced any leaks or other problems. With the given budget however I think...

Strange, but not something that should happen if you ask me. Any response from the seller and / or Santi?

What kind of problems? I am asking because that is not my experience at all. Me and my boyfriend both use a heated vest and gloves. Never had any issues so far. Last weekend the inside of my drysuit got pretty wet because of a problem with my drysuit inflator and still the heating kept on...

GUE Fundamentals Tech pass. Even more proud that I passed in one go. First course which I felt made me work very hard to earn it.

The DPV has a lithium battery, not sure if you are able to fly with them or not. The DPV has 2 small weights inside which you can remove to adjust the trim. I found that in fresh water, with both weights, the DPV is slightly negative. Removing one of the weights makes it a bit too positive for...

I have done about 20 dives with one of these and I am pretty happy with it considering the price. We've tested the battery capacity on a 70 minute dive at full speed trying to get from point A to B (a distance of about 3km). My partners DPV failed at about 65 minutes and with mine I managed to...

How where the conditions there today? Doesn't seem like the lake is completely frozen? We are thinking about diving there this weekend.

Vandaag nog een duikje gemaakt, maar meer omdat als het morgen echt slecht wordt op de weg we niet het risico willen lopen op een ongeluk. Als het te doen is gaan we misschien morgen nog wel een keer, gewoon ergensnin de buurt. IJsduiken is zeker gaaf. Lang geleden dat we dat hier in NL hebben...

Same temperatures here in the Netherlands. I do own a BZ400 which for me makes the dives fun up till about 30 minutes. Adding more layers would propably make it impossible for me to do valve drills etc. Lucky for me my boyfriend bought the Santi heated vest and gloves for my birthday and I...

We hebben een duik gemaakt van 62 minuten en zijn zelfs even op 15 meter geweest. Heb het geen seconde koud gehad. Na 35 minuten ben ik wel overgeschakeld naar de 100%. Niet omdat het echt nodig was, maar gewoon omdat het kon :). Wat we wel merken is dat het alles bij elkaar toch weer even...

Had te weinig lood bij waardoor het een wat korter testduikje werd van 30 minuten. We waren iets te optimistisch geweest met lood verwijderen omdat we dachten dat de accu dat wel zou compenseren... Je merkt zeker veel verschil. Je kunt de Ammonite accu schakelen tussen 75 en 100% en had...

Moest even lezen maar heb je vraag gevonden :wink:. We hebben een losse accu van het merk Ammonite (de 24 Ah variant). Volgens mij zou die als je het vest en de handschoenen op vol vermogen gebruikt het ruim 3 uur vol moeten houden.

Morgen een duikje maken om ons Santi heating vest en handschoenen te testen :). Was een verjaardagscadeautje van m'n vriend :yeahbaby:. Met de watertemperaturen nu kunnen we nog zo'n 45 minuten duiken maar aangenaam is anders. Hopelijk gaat de heating daar verandering in brengen.

We hebben eind vorig jaar scooters gekocht en gaan daarom in april de GUE DPV 1 cursus volgen. Verder zouden we dit weekend een Cave intro in een mijn in Duitsland hebben (Christine) maar die is vanwege corona vooralsnog uitgesteld naar maart. Of de intro uiteindelijk wel of niet doorgaat maakt...

Welcome! Where do you usually go diving? Me and my partner do like tropical dives but last year we've done GUE Fundamentals and rediscovered our interest in the Dutch lakes. Our next goal will be Cave 1 and then Tech 1. Wreck diving is also pretty awesome :).

A year round diver in the Netherlands. I have done ice diving in 3 degrees water (currently the temperature is about 7). For me it's important to stay warm as long as possible before the dive. Wearing my BZ400 undersuit, gloves and a beanie really help. Dry gloves are also a great plus. Next...

There are a few small holes for venting. Nothing fancy but it works. I use a Halcyon H-view mask (which I also love :)).

I am very happy with my Santi 11mm hood. It has a nice fit and is really warm, I even wear it during the summer. Another advantage is I can put it on myself without help from my buddy (I have long hair which makes putting on any type of hood a bit of a fuss).
