So ... Who's diving dry next month?
It depends on how deep I'm diving and how long I'm staying, but I have had my drysuit on a few times over the past few weeks. It's dang cold down near the bottom...just over 60 degrees. Brrrrrrrr!
 
Good news and Bad news then...

Bad News...DiveTank has closed their doors.

Good News...Scuba Toys has taken over their Internet sales.

Not surprising they were always horribly unorganized. On the flip side Joe and Larry have always been extremely good to me. You just need to start a dialogue with them.

60degrees? That's perfect dry suit diving:D

I was surprised to see Divetank's no longer in business and it had Scubatoys link on their site. At any rate, Scubatoys have great prices and excellent service.

Yep...bummer, huh? They were around for something like 20 years. Not sure what happened, but best of luck to the folks who worked there.
 
Ryan,

I'm really liking my Pinnacle Evo2. I got it from you guys and it was very reasonably priced and I'm not even an employee. I know you carry DUI, Dive Rite and Bare as well. Don't remember if you stock the Dive Rite drysuits, though. Alan really seems to like his Bare. Lots of positive comments on DUI. Gee, tough choice.

PS - Are you gonna start wearing gloves too? :D

I forgot, you got an Evo2. Yeah we have way to many choices. White's drysuits too.

Gloves, not sure I will go that far, well maybe gloves, but getting a hood on my head might be hard. :D
 
Hood is a good thang, Alan got me hooked after my first time wearing it.....now when I dip below the thermocline I'm toasty plus I don't have to worry about how mighty tasty my ears might be looking to the Percharana (?) down there.....
 
Well found out the shop I work at is actually a USIA dealer.:D So I am thinking I might go that route, depending on price. For right now DUI is out of the picture, it was just getting way to expensive to get what I want in a DUI, maybe after I am out of college I will be able to afford one.
 
For thermal protection it really would be in your best interest to find a hood you like.

Wearing a dry suit and no hood in cold water is kinda like keeping half of the windows in your house open in the middle of winter with the heat on.

Yeah I know, I have found a few that I can stand, it was kind of a joke last year, everyone had a fit watching me dive in the winter, with a wetsuit and no hood or gloves. :doh2:
