I actually read the stuff that came with my dry suit, and it basically said to let it dry, and then put it in the bag that it came with. The bag is ruberized on the inside to keep out moisture, or keep it in if you think about it. It also keeps out dirt, sunlight, and most moisture, and while...

I bought the EZ straps when I was in Florida. I actually had to buy two sizes because of different boots. But they work very well, the one thing you have to be careful of is that they fit your fins correctly. They have two attachment methods, one is a plastic snap similar to a normal fin...

I'm going to Our World Underwater next weekend (assuming Northwest doesn't go on strike). Maybe they will be there and I can talk to them about it. I chatted a bit with one of the people at Dema, but didn't push the case. Pretty sad when you spend that much and the boots wear out that quick...

I've only had my Diving Concepts suit for a couple of seasons, but already the boots are worn smooth. Granted there wasn't much tread to begin with. Anyone else seen that problem with wear. Oh, I decided to have the boots replaced with socks. I got tired of feeling all the stones in the...

I bought a pair of Henderson Hyperstretch boots, they have a sole that looks more like a pair of running shoes. Very comfortable to walk in, easy on and off. But they are quite a bit bigger than my other boots because of the thickness of the sole. Which means they don't seem to go in the fin...

There are a couple of factors to consider on your choices. First do you have your own system, or are you using Rental. If Rental a wrist mount makes more sense, it can go on your other wrist or in your pocket. If you own your system you can go with an air integrated, since cost is an issue we...

I'd be very surprised if Apple put in the facilities to boot Vista or any other non Mac OS. I could be wrong of course, but I don't see them doing it. I have to admit it would be interesting to compare Apples to Apples (sorry for the pun) the same hardware running two versions of the OS and...

airsix, Can you elaborate on using the latex hood without something over your ears? I can make a few guesses, but I'd like a little more detail if you don't mind.

The sea otter and duct tape was good, I love it. I can't answer your question yet, I just sent my suit out to replace the boots with socks. I'll let you know in the spring :)

Thanks for the info, I at least have one place to look for it.

I decided to have my dry suit switched over to a dry hood. I've been having a few problems with water in my ear, and this will take care of it. I decided to go with a Latex hood, simply because in the warmer weather I normally don't wear a hood, and the latex hood won't cause me to over heat...

I read the book a while back after a few people mentioned it. I personally wasn't impressed, and after having seen the two of them on TV, I was positive I wouldn't be comfortable diving with either of them. Even though I suspect that both divers are probably better than I ever will be. Its...

Gaschef, Where did you get the Zip Slip? I found the web site (http://www.criticalcleaning.com/ZipSlip.html), but looks like they only sell it by the case. I don't mind paying $5 bucks for one, but $66 to get several life times (a dozen) is a bit high. Granted I could sell them at $10 a unit...

I've been in the Windows camp for a very, very long time, and let me tell you with the quality of the programs coming out of both independents and the dive computer makers you aren't really missing much. These programs are clumsy at best, unstable at worst. Lets face it the companies that...

My Diving Concepts dry suit also has a fitting that is different size than my BC inflator. I can only think of a couple of reasons for it being a different size. 1. Makes the hose cost a lot more, I had to replace mine, and it was about twice the cost of an inflator hose. 2. The connector...

I confess I wear my dry suit in water in the 70's, of course that's in August and its only in the 70's in the first 10 feet of water or so, its mid to low 60's generally below the thermocline. I'm also not wearing a hood or gloves, and very thin underwear. In my case its because I refuse to...

Diving wet or dry one thing I've noticed is that if your hands or feet get cold the rest of you does too. This is true, wet or dry. I know I've been freezing in my dry suit when I should be comfortable simply because my hands got cold. One thing I've found that does wonders for this is...

My boots on my dry suit are starting to wear a bit thin, not that they were all that great to begin with. I was thinking of replacing the boots with a sock next time around. What I want to know is if anyone has tried using a sock with conventional wet suit boots? In this case I'm thinking...

If you remember to put it on, it also might keep the tank from slipping all the way out, in the very unlikely event that both your tank straps slip. I have also on a few occassions used it to hang the BC to dry when a hanger or better method wasn't available. Like on a boat when you have...

I was under the impression that Gobies were toxic from eating the zebra muscles. I'm sure the fishermen have some reason for not liking them. Question is one exotic spiecies eating another exotic species a good thing or a bad thing. I've also noticed that the number of zebras seem to be...
