    Dry suit help in socal

    I actually wouldn't speak to the manufactures about how to fit a drysuit, instead of determining the needs of the diver and properly measuring for fit, they tend to just oversize the measurements, to "guarantee" the suit fits. Don't listen to them. Beach Cities Scuba carries both brands, and...

    Alright Kev, those are fightin' words! :D Next, you're gonna' say why even own a decompression program at all, when ratio deco is good to 600'!

    Quiet in here...

    Since we're being facetious today... That depends, if it's a Halcyon you route it over, if it's a Salvo you route it under. Neither, why stow your regs properly, when you could just leave it draped around your neck! Yes, if your buddy is swimming with his hands, you're allowed to zip tie...

    He should of deployed an SMB. Edit: Nevermind, I just read the boat was anchored. He should of been more aware.

    Despite that the data could be argued invalid due to neoprene drysuits and inferior undergarments, the possible benefits of argon would have been rejected anyway. The Norwegian Royal Navy has practical and logistical concerns, which out weigh the benefits of argon use. They can’t produce...

    Are you sure the type of suit and type of insulation doesn't matter? A primary source of insulation on the test divers was provided by the 6.5 mm neoprene drysuits. On a shell type suit, such as worn by DIR divers, the suit itself provides no insulation. All insulation in a shell type suit...

    The application of Argon gas in "your study" is not how it is used by DIR divers. So, why does one need to be an expert with publications and degrees in the esoteric field Argon gas research to determine the study is crap? Please explain. Chris

    How much gas was in the test divers drysuits? Were they shrink wrapped, or were their undergarments fully lofted? Were the divers verticle or horizontal? How do you explain away the chemical properties of Argon being better (theoretically) than air at minimizing heat transfer? Chris

    Argon does minimize heat transfer, that's why it's used as a filler gas in thermo-pane windows. Chris

    Why do we need a tech instructor? A chemist would be a better edumacator on the properties of argon. Just remember, argon belongs in your drysuit, not in your lungs.:) Chris

    Do advertisers get to write their own rules?

    Well, I actually own a pair of Bio-Fins , I purchased them 8 or 9 years ago, before I was pushing 150 + pounds of equipment through the water. I have tried numerous brands of split fins in the pool, and none of them perform as well as jet fins when using a back kick or other subtle...

    Do advertisers get to write their own rules?

    Ahhh Rick,...You let the cat out of the bag...I admit it, I use an Apollo bio-seal, only out of necessity though. The manager of my local scuba shop screwed the pooch and mis-measured for a replacement neoprene neck seal, so I bought an Apollo bio-seal. It's a great little product that...

    Do advertisers get to write their own rules?

    mdb, Thank you for your kind and generous offer, however, I'm afraid it would be a waste of your time and effort. I'm already very pleased with the performance of my current fins and split fin designs just don't work very well with my type of diving. Take care, Chris
