Squeeze is just your drysuits way of saying it loves you. Don't add weight - that's just chasing a problem with more problems. Use your BC for bouyancy, that's what it's there for. And get proper underwear - that will make a world of difference. Proper fitting underwear is even more...

Well sunshine - your answer is Wrong, and downright dangerous to boot. :11:

Darnit - I knew that too. This is why I shouldn't ever post before my 2nd cup of coffee. Thanks Thal...

There's a big difference between the vagaries of USING frozen gear versus whether or not it's bad for them. For example, the first rule any ice diver learns - never breathe a reg above water.

If being below freezing was bad for gear, how do you think Canadians would dive other than in July? :)

My only exposure to a backplate was on Scubaboard. As a newly certified diver, I would have never thought about different options that are out there. I am intelligent enough to sort out for myself who's got valid opinions, and who's spouting for the sake of spouting. To relegate a separate...

If we're talking true "DIR" I believe they're using a knot on either side of a tie-wrap now. The problem with this design (and with double grapevine knots) is that the mouthpiece can come out quite easily... something you don't want to happen.

Polite voice: They're not necessary, Mike. You probably want to save your money. Impolite voice: They're called slobwinders. It's a stupid idea, and yet another gimmick designed to teach the impressionable that you can substitute equipment for skill. If you can't reach your own valves, get a...

LOL - dude, I said we didn't know anything about this mythical wonderproduct... but judging by your defensive nature, that's one heck of a way to convince us! Someone needs to spend less time developing products for non-existing problems and maybe more time relaxing? Sheesh!

I seriously can't believe people are this stupid. Unreal. :confused:

Geez, Dive Right In Scuba - I'm sure that's not a biased recommendation at all. I checked out your online store and noticed a broad selection of... ... oh wait. No... just Sherwood and Oceanic. My mistake. :no

I have a goatee. I found it was really simple - get a good fitting mask, and if necessary, shave a thin line just under your nose. Just a trim job, really. I haven't had a problem since, and I sure wouldn't pay money to fix a non-existent problem.. With respect to "Dive Right In Scuba," I...

I hope you plan to apologize to your dive shop.

Anyone who doesn't tell you to use a Silver Sharpie has um... never used a Silver Sharpie. They ROCK.

Hmmm - this would be the same Jarrod Jablonski who kicked Andrew Georgitsis out of the GUE community, right? I shudder to think about how much I spend on dive gear in a year. But I know this - Halcyon won't be getting any of it anymore.

I saw this on a few other boards, and I didn't see anything here. I know a number of us (myself included) have Salvo lights, and may be concerned about warranty issues et al. I have to say - after seeing this, I see no reason not to continue my relationship with Salvo. Every dealing I've...

I believe what you mean to say is "I wanted to use them, I already had my mind made up, and when people pointed out the fallacies of my plan, I decided to use them anyway. This way I can prove I'm smarter than you." Nice try. But you failed. :rolleyes:

Alas - if only it were my story to tell - heck, I'd make it my avatar. Sorry to disappoint - that's why I prefaced it with "best story I've ever heard."

Best solution I've ever heard of for problem boats. ---------------- So there I was, taking photo's when this anchor nearly clips my dive buddy right in the ear! I was pretty taken aback - but not nearly as much as my buddy. Luckily, he had thought ahead. After tying their anchor line to...
