Look's like there will be a competiton going on. So far you, DanS, and Patmandu all want me to dive with them. We may just make it a group effort and get the rest of the gang in on it too. so what's up wit yooze? Brock

Okey dokey folks, here is my question I’ve some wreck diving trips planned for the NE, the Great Lakes and eventually the UK. My Viking Xtreme is great for Caves and Quarry diving, but I’ll need something way more rugged for wrecking. I’ve narrowed it down to these candidates in these 2...

and OS Systems commercial suit. It looks like a good alternative to the DUI TLS or the Viking Pro, especially with the undies thrown in on your "best deal" . Think it would be suitable for cave and sump diving? dive safe Brock PS- there are no local retailers here in Oklahoma. May I deal...

I see too many folks who do it in bits and pieces and wonder why they can't stay warm. I finally wised up when I got my Viking xtreme. Attached dry Surveyor hood, wrist rings with seals and dry gloves. Argon inflation system, pockets, and od valve. Viking undies and booties. Next year I hope...

I've a dive buddy who is ex - Force Recon. They used in- dwellings on some missions, until the infections were knocking out too many team members. But all good points. To anyone considering getting either, have it put in by a dealer using the approved model. My suit is a Viking, and field...

Proper hydration is key in maintaining warmth and preventing DCS. That water has to go somewhere, so here we're talking about a key safety system. Never be embarrased to ask. Thats how we learn. Dive safe and enjoy the Dry Side. Brock

I use both. A P-valve and a diaper as a backup or in case breakfast decides to go south 145 ft down and 2000 ft back. A couple of things I've found. I don't like the adhesive so my doc steered me towards a seldom used but still made device called a Maguire urinal. A loose fitting outer...

Howdy from Oklahoma! I'm interested in the UK wreck diving scene and I'm logged into the divernet forums under the same screen name as here. I'm planning a trip to Scapa Flow and perhaps NW Ireland in the next couple of years. I'm looking for mates to go with, would you be interested...

The attached hood and neck dam reduce flushing, it has taped seams with ankle, wrist and face seals like a drysuit. In the winter you can add a vest or shorty underneath with some semi-dry gloves and booties. I've worn my body Glove like that in 50 degree water and been good for 30 min. Most...

I've a buddy who uses the hooded one piece (can't recall the model name) for Florida cave diving and loves it. I have the Body Glove equivalent and really like the style. So where you divin? Dive safe Brock

I'm planning trips for maybe this fall or next year and would like to meet and get to know some of you before I come up. Dive safe Brock

Hiya Steve My best suggestion would be to go with the Suunto Vyper. It can handle 2 nitrox mixes and incorporates deep stops. For really deep stuff or trimix you can switch it to gauge mode. I'm sure that the Abyss and the OMS are good machines, but they are horrendously expensive and as...

Hi Ray- I posted a direct link to Marlin above- use Alta Vista's free translator to decode the German text. Swissub's URL is http://www.swissub.ch the price list is in English. You can order direct from the factory with either company. Swissub will email you back with quotes. Remember...

Eric, I dive a Poseidon Unisuit for cave and wrecks, and a Polar Bear Commercial with drygloves for open water. The P-valves are on order from Amron thru Triton Diving in Sacremento,CA. I've the Amron price list in PDF format at home- I'll send it this evening. They also have 6cf inflation...

Here's the link for Marlin Tauchsport. http://www.marlin.de Dive safe Brock

Hey Ray. Now that I've been able to sleep on it, Swissub, Marlin and Beauchat offer a Unisuit clone. The Swissub offers models specially designed for cave, wreck or commercial work. They also come with wrist rings so you can use latex wrist seals or dry gloves. With the favorable UDS to Euro...

Hi Ray Flushing is just that- exchanging warm air or water for cold water. Separate hoods have a tendency to flush. I bought mine from a guy in Wisconsin who had purchased a lot from the government. Do a search on Google for "unisuit" It will lead you to several retailers in the US...

I'll add you to my list. If we get 12 folks we can book a boat in Scapa for just ourselves. We're up to 5 now with you, and the MV Loyal Watcher from the European Technical Centre seems to have the best operation. Have a great weekend, I'll post a report on my return. Dive safe Brock

I'm curious too, Eric. I'm planning a trip to Scapa in 2004 or 4 and Tech one is part of my preparation for that. When are you planning to go up? A group from Diverlink are planning a trip to the Upper Peninsula in June, tho I suppose you'll be joining Steve Lewis in the Toronto area. It's...

Hi Ray. I tend to agree with Matt. My Unisuit is fast becoming my favorite. I also have a tri-lam for Open water, but for cave or wreck diving I prefer the Poseidon. I also prefer attached hoods. It reduces flushing, helps with that"secure" feeling and is one less thing to keep track of. They...
