So, this is more for my own curiosity than anything else: for the taller divers of Scubaboard, what is different for you and what tips or tricks do you have for those folks up in the thinner air?
I'm 6'7", and I like to consider myself a competent diver, but I've never really done much different in regard to my height. I know a few people who have extra long backplates, and they seem to really enjoy them, but short of having a MTM drysuit and undergarment, I do everything else the exact same as most decent divers I know. I will say, my BCD hose on my Eclipse bugs the beejezus out of me, as it sits way higher on me than it does on other divers, but I would rather have it too short than long-n-dangly.
Anybody got tips, tricks, or gear that I should check out or recommend to other tall guys and gals? Should I not even take height into account and stay the course?
