Hi all, I've been reading these trailer posts and had to share my idea. I have a big insulated box van (7x17 box). The truck has a Gross vehicle weight of 26,000 lbs. Looks like an old version of an Isuzu delivery truck. Anyhow, I was kicking around the idea of converting it to a dive...

I borrowed a DiveRite BackPlate today and tried it out. I am a VERY new diver. In fact, I won't have my c-card for another week or so as we are waiting for my wife's drysuit to arrive. Anyhow, the backplate was great! It felt less restrictive and was suprisingly comfortable. I'll...

Now that's a rack. Each week I get my freight in on pallets and have some pretty nice ones. There is an added bonus to this method- Besides being able to unload with a forklift :) Pallets are great for beach bonfires-- which are legal here. Looks like I've got a new bottle rack - grin-...

I ordered Softwear unders from Janice and they are very nice. I'll try them out in 8 days on my first open water dive. The unders are so nice that my wife has ordered hers which should arrive several days before we do our dives for our certification. Soooo Glad I read these posts, DrDuktayp

I am at the end of my Open Water course. Ours is extended to include drysuit training. The local dive shop rents drysuits and sells the rental units off every couple of years. I was able to pick up a drysuit in good condition for under 700 dollars. (DUI FLX50/50). So, this may be...

I appreciate the help. I DON"T want to be a taco! It also looks like 425 is a little on the high side. I have a few weeks before I can get any more toys. So, I'll keep reading the posts and learning. Thanks again, DrDuktayp

Hi all, I am putting together my first set of gear. So far I have, DUI FLX50/50 Drysuit Scubapro MK25/S600 and of course fins,mask etc I am thinking about purchasing the Diverite backplate with Classic Wings. I've been renting a Diverite Jacket with Recwings but think I would like...

hi all, I'm very excited about my Softwear purchase! Janice had my size in stock and I expect it will arrive this week. I am so glad I ran across scubaboard! I'll be wearing my base layer of capalene and the 300wt Softwear unders. If that isn't warm enough I'll add a layer of wool...

Pelagic Hero, Reading your post REALLY gets me excited as we do our open water in 2 weeks. It's up to 42F here but we are taught dry. Next pool dive we use our drysuits and expect to loose all our 'Godlike' coordination as our instructor puts it. I can hardly wait to see the sea life for...
