Thank you. The eye damage was the result of an infection after surgery.

Maybe you could go to a backplate and wing setup with a molle chest rig (molle chest rig - Google Search:) as your harness amd mount some quick release weight pockets to the front.

Thanks for the responses. Don't think I haven't thought about the camera possibility, and no I don't find the comment at all offensive. There is one guy that has done it, although I have no idea if his was waterproof and I do know that would get very expensive very quickly. There is a local...

Thank you. I'll look into that!

Thank you. It's an acrylic material, but won't compress. I've only had it a few weeks, and it's winter here (CT) so I haven't tried snorkeling or swimming with it yet. That is a good idea though.

I'll try bumping this once. Thanks.

Anybody? Thanks.

I lost an eye over the summer and have not been diving since it happened. The eye is healed but shrunken and still in place (phthisis bulbi) and I now have a prosthetic eye in the form of a scleral shield. I expect to get back to diving sooner rather than later; perhaps as soon as January when...

I am going to be in Singapore from January 9 to January 21, 2018 and will have my weekdays free but not the weekend. I'd like to do some diving if there are any good and reasonably easy options. I could possibly do a 2 to 4 day overnight during the week of January 15th. Ideal for me would be...

I've been using this sheath attached to the shoulder strap with a malice clip and some cable ties for a couple of years, maybe 50 dives. It works very well, nothing to rust and I've never felt that the velcro was insecure...

I was very comfortable using the sharkskin with a 3mm shorty in 75-78 degrees, FWIW. It's fairly comfortable to wear that combination (about as warm as, and much more comfortable than, than a full 5mm wetsuit, in my experience) and the shorty suit does help keep a lot of the bagginess...

I am bumping this to the top since I am still looking at alternatives to the sharkskin, which I like everything about EXCEPT how baggy it gets. A year-and-a-half later, does anybody have any direct experience with both the sharkskin and either the Fourth Element suit or the Frogskin? I did...

Can you expand on this a little? In what way(s) did the 4th Dimension (4th Element?) top work better? Thanks.

I'll take it as basically intended to be helpful. Thank you.

Yup. It sure was helpful too.

Maybe. I'd be interested to hear if others have had the same experience with Sharkskin and/or Lavacore.

I can't speak to others' experience, but it did get baggy on me. The fit when dry is very snug. The next size down would be way too tight, as in almost too tight to get on and definitely too tight to wear for any length of time.

I did end up buying the sharkskin; zip-neck, long-sleeve top and pants. I liked it a lot and was very comfortable diving with it in Grand Cayman in mid-April. My only observation is that the suit gets extremely baggy once it gets wet. What went on as a very snug top and bottom ballooned up in...

Thanks. That's interesting.

Thanks.
