HOG Total Buoyancy Control System (TBCS). SS backplate and buckles. Quick Drop weight pockets (large - hold up to 10 lbs each). 32lb wing. This is a “like new” system; I have dived it 4 times in fresh water. Total cost new (as set up) is $495. Selling for $325 (local pickup in Canton, CT), or...

My Seaskin thinsulate undergarment does not have any washing instructions on it. Considering that each time I doff the suit I'm always sweaty, I imagine it's going to get pretty punk after awhile. Anyone know the proper way to clean it so that it doesn't lose it's insulating properties? Thanks.

I'm currently using a light, held with an Oxycheq Light Sock. Even though the back end of the light only extends about one inch out of the back of the Light Sock, it still comes in contact with my Kubi dry glove ring. I'm considering getting the Sola 2500 so I'm wondering if the length of the...

Anyone know if there's any lake diving in southern VT, or northwest MA? Thanks.

I started diving in a Seaskin Nova with Seaskin's 250gm thinsulate undergarment. I'm going to start using the 150gm thinsulate shorty (waters are warming up). Does anyone know how much weight I can take off going from the 250gm full body, to the 150gm shorty? Thanks.

I just got a pair of the Hollis F1s and on my first dive, both fins came off (at different times). Fortunately, I was in shallow water and was able to retrieve them. So the question is, can the spring straps be moved to make them more snug? I see two mounting "bolts" on each side of the strap...

I do some of my diving in water temps down to about 40 degrees (F). I know my question is somewhat subjective, based upon one's cold tolerance. Is the Waterproof H1 5/10mm hood meant primarily for ice diving? Is 5/10mm too thick for the waters I'll be in?

I've been looking at the Light & Motion Sola 2000 but read a couple of less than stellar reviews on the Leisure Pro site. I'm looking for more feedback on people's experiences with this light, especially if you've had problems. Thanks.

Not sure if I need an XL or XXL. Needs to fit a dry boot sized for shoe size 12 (US).

I started diving dry last year, using my friends old scubapro suit which has socks and rock boots. I had a minor problem with floaty feet, which was readily corrected with Jet Fins. I just started diving my new Seaskin suit which has integrated boots, and was having a significant problem with...

I just received my new Seaskin Nova with integrated, hard sole boots. I haven't dived in it yet (still a bit cold in the Northeast), but want to get setup to be able to dry it properly, especially the boots. I know some people use a HangAir, while others turn the suit upside down and hang it...

Just got my first drysuit (Seaskin), with Kubi dry gloves. I want to get some spare gloves and see that there are few kinds of glove materials; Latex, PVC, & Nitrile. Is one better that the other? What's recommended? Thanks.

I just ordered a Seaskin Nova which will have the Kubi dry glove system. I'm also looking to get a new light that I can secure to my hand with a Goodman Handle. As this is my first drysuit, is it possible to use a light with Goodman Handle on the dry glove system? Thanks.

In the thread "Seaskin Nova Drysuit Review", there is a recent post about the exhaust valve being in a sub-optimal position. I had asked on that thread for additional feedback concerning the location of the valve, but haven't seen any responses. Thus, I've started this thread to try and get some...

What's an appropriate fit? I made the ring template to fit my hand through, and had the following observations - With the equivalent of a liner glove on, my hand went through the 90mm hole with what I would term, a small amount of rubbing on the widest area of my hand. For a 100mm hole, there...

I'm about to replace the corrugated tube on my wing with a longer one. When I took the old one off I noticed some gummy material on the wing elbow, and the inflator control piece. Is there some kind of sealant that needs to be applied on both ends of the tube, or, are the zip ties all that is...

I may order a Seaskin Nova drysuit and their Thinsulate 250 undergarment. I know many people have reported very high levels of satisfaction with the drysuit. I'm wondering about the undergarment. I just read a comment in another thread about the 150 undergarment being difficult to don and doff...

Is one better than the other in terms of materials used? Does one provide better insulating capacity over the other? Thanks.

There must be a difference in these two suits, based upon the price differential. As I am just starting to dive in a drysuit, I'm not sure of how these suits differ, based upon the descriptions on the Otter website. The description of the Superskin does not make mention of it being telescopic...

I'm looking to get another steel tank (I have a steel 100) and am considering a 117 and 120. I see that the 117 has a diameter of 8" whereas the 100 is 7.25". The tank band on my setup is not easy to adjust. Would the 3/4" larger diameter of the 117 require the band to be adjusted each time I...
