Thanks for the tips guys I'm slowly working out the kinks it's an older suit some of the seams leaked I solved it by using neoprene cement just gotta keep working at it I am ordering a new dry suit for next spring

I didn't read all the reply but I did a 2 tank dive today I have double 108s and use my hp117 to top up between dives before I got to the boat I lost over 400lbs of air because my strap snapped and rolled my tank on while I was going over an over pass so I couldn't stop right away and my first...

I've proven it to myself when I started diving before I was relaxed I would burn through a 108lp in less then 45 minutes at 30ft after I started slowing my breathing and being relaxed the same dive same conditions same temps my tank would last me over 1hr and ten minutes

Because it is controlled I breathing is much slower and more controlled I find myself breathing lime this all the time without thinking

Oh my bad my inhale is nice and slow and I don't come up with headaches

I would suggest no camera till about your 50th dive and only once your breathing is under control Try humming when you exhale when inhaling do it slowly count five Mississippi's and 5 when you exhale so this on the surface at home anytime till it becomes natural

The waters were 56 at the harbour yesterday. it's my 3rd or 4th dive this year I was wearing a beanie with my drysuit and wet gloves forgot my cold water hood as I was in a hurry and just grabbed my go bag

Cornwall harbour was 56f today I did it in my beanie

Welcome to the dark side. the force is strong with this one. That being said I have nothing more to add then I love my comfort harness when doing shore dives yes I don't feel my 130lbs underwater but it's when I'm going from shore to truck that I like the comfort harness

I've practiced to where I can be ready from underwear to fully kitted and ready to dive in five minutes with wet gloves I dive drysuit and wet gloves when the water gets above 50f i switch to a beanie in water above 60f and once

I dive lock 21 10+ times a year it's a hoot I love doing what we call the torpedo run in Iroquois and finish the dive on the Conestoga ask me about the torpedo run it's as cool as it sounds

Long live the war hammer But honestly a wetsuit isn't hard to customize a bit of neoprene cement and learning how to blind stitch I all you need I took in my neck seal with this method use nylon thread for blind stitch

You could give me up 1000's and I would still want them cave filled doesn't matter the size tbh the fuller they are the more and longer I can dive

I have double l.p. 108s and my dive shop fills them an additional 10% my tanks are always at about 3200 3400 never had a problem I'm 5'8" 220lbs I can lug those suckers around np the rig weighs 130lbs no extra lead needed I honestly don't notice any drag

My bare 7mm farmer John was 850 my cold water hood was 80 my 5mm Kevlar coated dive gloves were 85 my 5mm cold water booties were about 100 And that's bare there a 1k right there and that's not even custom And you think that's expensive try replacing the brass rear entry supper on a dry suit I...

The initial system is pricey but worth it

Welcome from the 1k islands area home of the world's best freshwater shipwreck diving you could dive a whole summer and still not see them all Btw no thermoclines in st Lawrence in the 1k islands and water temps are in the high 40s right now

That's why most divers including myself have a good layer of blubber:wink:

What one person's thermal needs can be totally different from anothers I can dive for over an gr8 in just sharkskin drysuit thermals I also dive with a neoprene dry suit people who dive trilam usually need more thermals as theirs no insulating properties in a tri lam ymmv it's a good way to...
