    Xcd2 TechDry Or Trilam Hd Tech

    I have the socks and wear Converse hi-tops/Chuck Taylors over them. Works great. Inexpensive and comfortable. Plus, should you care, they come in lots of different styles.... :14:

    Dengue in Cozumel?

    I was in Cozumel in late January 2007 and I contracted Dengue Fever. Bonecrusher Disease is it's other name. All I can say that it's an understatement. It takes an elephant tranquilizer to knock me on my rear-end for only a day, and this illness had me immobilized in agony for a solid...

    Life without a pee valve

    Bottom line (IMHO): get the pee valve. Do you "need" one? No. Should you get one? Probably. Does the average diver get the same urge to pee diving wet versus diving dry? Perhaps a bit less diving dry, depending on who you ask. Does knowing that you're diving in a drysuit with no...

    Need info from the NE folks......

    If there's one still there in East Hartford, I'm not familiar with it. I use Enfield Scuba (in Enfield) and New England Ski & Scuba (in Vernon). I also know of Scuba Shack (in Rocky Hill) as well as a scuba shop in Wallingford that I've heard many good things about. Oh yes, I've also...

    Ah the insane procedures involved in returning home...

    Just returned from Cozumel yesterday. Flew American Airlines in and out of Coz. At Cozumel airport, there were no searches of any bags at the ticket window. Then we walked through security area where carry-on bags were checked by the machine/scanner on the conveyor belt and we walked...

    Seaside Suites Advice

    My wife and I are planning a trip for this January. We're considering a return to Cozumel (can't go wrong) or the possibility of staying at El Dorado Seaside Suites Resort, which is a bit south of Playa. We have some friends who will be staying there at the time, so we're considering going...

    What is the oddest thing you've found on the bottom of the ocean?

    A couple weeks ago, at about 60 feet in a quarry, there was a doll in the muck/silt buried with just it's head sticking up out of the silt. It was like the head of Chucky looking at me all of a sudden. Scared the crud out of me. Hehe.

    Drysuit boot ?'s

    I recently bought my first drysuit and went through the same issues deciding what to do about boots. I ended-up buying the Converse. So far, they've worked great. They're easy to don. They're comfortable before, during and after the dive. They're usually less expensive than the DUI or...

    BARE vs OSSYSTEMS

    I'm new to drysuit diving, having just bought my first drysuit. I've made a number of dives in it already. It's the Bare Trilam HD Tech. While I haven't worn other drysuits, I've checked and examined the material of a few other trilams. The material for the Bare Trilam HD Tech is...

    Si-Tec Dry Glove Question

    I have these gloves. I like them, but I've had mixed results trying to put them on. I've read that some people just put some saliva along the o-ring. Others say to put nothing. Some have mentioned some silicone grease or wax. If someone wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate knowing whether...
