    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    Unless you are crawling over those rocks, you should be good. If you decide to go with Seaskin, in your case I would go for neoprene socks and rock boots. If you are crawling, Santi Enduro, SF Tech, Ursuit Cordura and similar should be your choice.

    High end drysuit comparability

    That post is 5 years old, last I heard is that Otter is not that friendly anymore. Same with Santi. My instructor bought Santi suits with a group of friends about 10 or so years ago. They got factory tour and had nice chat with the boss himself. 2 years ago, my club bought 11 suits. They...

    High end drysuit comparability

    Sorry, but I feel that is wrong. My experience is that Seaskin is tight cut, but people tend to "pad" their numbers, even though Seaskin's instructions specifically tells not to. Also, some suits are ordered with "thick undergarments" option, which adds to overall size in certain areas. If...

    Drysuit for Pacific Northwest

    Also, measure yourself at least 3 times, best over a course of a week. Go with biggest numbers.

    Question Is the KISS Sidewinder the best to learn on on & keep for a lifetime?

    You got this all figured out already. Go out and buy first rebreather you see and just go diving. What's the worst that can happen? :banghead:

    Marine Life Shark attack at Egyptian Red Sea resort

    IIRC, when that Russian tourist was killed last year, a shark was killed after an organised hunt. Whether it was that exact shark, I do not know, but score was settled. Besides, there is a chance it stays in vicinity of where last meal was provided.

    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    No, you just stretch to get suit in position and then you can purge.

    Marine Life Shark attack at Egyptian Red Sea resort

    That shark just signed its death warrant. I couldn't find time of attack, was it bad vis?

    We are still doing this? Okay, I'll bite. OP is drawing flak about safety of Red Sea LOB's (tbh, not really his fault, but it is what it is) and magically a new user show up and praises OP's op. And you want us to believe you? Again, nice try but no dice.

    Do you carry a tourniquet when diving?

    If you are asking about bleeding out from a cut-no. But did watch a few die as they bled out in situations where tourniquet would not have helped. And once more no, it wasn't me that started the attacks. I agree with you on all the equipment you mentioned above. I carry a lot of that, but not...

    Question Skipping 1st stage Maintenance?

    I don't know if it's just me, but seems you would be better off letting someone else servicing your regs. You managed to make 3 potentially costly mistakes already.

    Do you carry a tourniquet when diving?

    How many times you used it underwater? Why the f* are you all making this as "it's never to be used" statement? I've heard of more cases of diver dying due to heart attack while underwater than I have of bleeding out while underwater. By all means, carry one with you, but where do you draw a...
