    What do you love and what do you hate about your unit?

    I just did crossover last week from sidekick to sidewinder and didn’t have any problems with wet sorb, even after scootering. I totally realize I have like 10 hours on it, but seems that’s when problems like that would crop up, when you’re learning a new configuration. I really liked it. I...

    Cavern with single tank?

    I did cavern and intro in a single with an H valve, knowing I planned to go through full and would move to doubles later. Turned out, it wasn’t much later - it was about a month after intro I started diving doubles. But I’m glad I went slow.

    P-valve not connected

    On mine, the bolt to outside can be closed but the balance chamber inside my suit is open and does whatever balancing it needs to, hooked up or not.

    pneumaturia (air in urine)

    That kind of back flow can lead to horrible urinary tract infections, bad enough that the dr asked my husband to level with him about the sexual tourist trip he must have taken to Thailand. Prime if you plumb, and flush the tubing with vinegar/alcohol/your choice of disinfectant after dives.

    Peeing in a dry suit

    If you’re going to use diapers (and I do, as back-up to the she-p), use baby ones with the sides folded back and the middle in the right spot. They have gel that holds fluid. Adult diapers usually have fluff that will squeeze fluid back out.

    Reverse kick

    Bathing suit, kickboard, after a while add booties and fins, pool. Toodle around the pool frog kicking forwards, holding the kickboard out in front of you. Go slow. Now try to reverse engineer the frog. It really is the side of your foot/fin. It also has a kick/recoil cycle like the kick/glide...

    Mildly regretting a dive?

    several. one was when i was brand new to side mount and my bc was dumping and i couldn't see how but couldn't stay off the bottom. gawd, that sucked. one or two were in horrible conditions offshore nc, though i did end up catching a husband. though is that worth the crap dive or not??

    Washing a Wetsuit

    i rinse every dive and wash in the (non-agitator) machine after every trip with wetsuit shampoo and listerine in the bleach dispenser, then hang to dry.

    What's the coldest water temp you will wetsuit in??

    72, but only if the dive is less than 90 or so minutes.

    Lasik and SCUBA

    i had lasek, which sounds like the description of epi-lasik above - no flap, more painful. i had one done at a time with like 2 weeks between, so my total out of the water time was 6 or 8 weeks. very worth it. though now at close to 50, i need readers in my mask. :(
