@TrimixToo I think you are right...Im getting such a squeeze from the zip gloves.... forming a seal on their own maybe. I should really post a pic just after the dive. Ill try this when my two tanks are back from hydro... stay tuned folks.

Whomever you use for a charter - tell them exactly where you are w/ diving, super new and haven't developed a pile of bad habits yet. Trust me, they'll appreciate the honesty. It'll be a relaxing dive if you get into a very calm frame of mind the day before and the morning of. Go easy.

No I think the majority of dive shops here are really good. The ones still open are anyway. The days of pre-2008 economy crunch had, at least here in the Puget Sound region - way, way too many dive shops. It was amazing...shops were in every little hamlet. Lynnwood, Everett, Smokey Point...

This is quite an interesting post. One that's never happened to me- and I really hope it never does. But in this hypothetical world, heck yes- if a guy is borderline panic / OOA - he can breathe from my primary and Ill go to my necklace backup reg. I * would * then become their new best...

Hey JackD - they are the DUI blue zip gloves - so there's no wrist seal that the air would need to get past - it's the gloves that seem to vacuum seal to my hand so easily causing the serious squeeze. I should post a pic to illustrate whats happening... it's really odd.

I agree about the drysuit. You'll never go back to a wetsuit.

My $ 50.00 snorkel that is now buried in a gear box...somewhere.

1. Backplate SS Plate from Golem Gear 2. Wing - 35 lb from Golem Gear 3. Harness - one pc webbing, I finally today put on chest d-rings that are bent ( best thing I've done ) 4. Primary 1st stage Scubapro MK20 5. Primary 2nd stage Scubapro G250 6. Computer - none 7. SPG - PSI in large numbers...

Today at getting out of the water, I noticed my hands had been squeezed pretty good during the dive. To the point where they were mildly achy. I noticed during the dive I had to stretch out my forearms in front of me to let the suit equalize better and get some air down in my fingers...but...

Hard to say... I really like my HID Light Monkey but it's my first can light so I have scant other data to go from. Think of a used one maybe ? They are out there : Light monkey 35 watt HID can light scuba diving

Hey Justin 7731 - Im interested in that AL40 stage. My zip is 98043...make me an " offer I can't refuse "

Online searching for gloves is easy- I saw those 720's- but what is crucial for me now is the thickness - I need my dexterity back. Ill be testing out a few. I might just go wild and order the $300 Kubi set. The orange gloves are thinner than the blue smurfs, so I'd gain some tactile sense...

It's truly stunning they were found alive !

You wrote silicone whistle...my brain still interpreted this as : silicone wrist seal.

I think my hand diameter size would be a kubi 90mm ring. Thanks for the different glove options. I really like the idea of getting kitted up, then 'clicking' the gloves in just before I enter the water. The Kubi youtube videos I've watched look pretty slick.

I finally did it- ripped my DUI zip-seal on the left cuff. On the suit side. Underwater Sports in Seattle sent it to DUI in San Diego and of course they require replacing both seals - to the tune of $ 200.00. this piracy is worthy of it's own thread/rant altogether. But my question put forth...

Still have this KUBI set ?

This could be a long shot- but do you have these still?

Is your HP hose the quick disconnect type ? I have switched mine out ( it had one dive) and is now in my gear bag. Shoot me a PM if your'e interested in this hose.

I dont know how online sales will ever replace my LDS. There is no way an online retailer can do a tank fill. Or hydro. Or inspection. Or regulator overhaul. Right guys? I saw the writing on the wall - online retailers grabbing a lot of those dive dollar$ though. This was about 2002...
