Then it's decided, we're kidnapping Sweetin and holding him hostage until we're reasonably prepared for him to conduct a fundies class for us. And my magic eight-ball says we'd pass...

Fundies can be done in doubles or single.
HEHEHE be prepared to work and the video camera does not lie.
Hydro if your still looking for a suit have a gander at the tls350- great for travel and dries in a heartbeat- thats my next suit.
I have dove a few suits and the DUI events all have been great.
Its hard to beat the fit of a DUI suit.
For fins- if you are wearing rock boots- this usually results in a larger size fin.
For wetsuit I wear Regular Mares Quattros and with my Drysuit its an x-large pair.
Spring heels are your friend.
Weight- I usually bring at least 30lbs for these events. Depending on the suit I wear any where from 25 to 35 lbs. Call me doughboy! :11: Bring your own weight!
The DUI weight and trim system rocks!
With 30lbs of weight I put one- 4 lbs weight in each bc pocket the rest goes into the weight and trim system. Makes putting on your tank a lot easier.
Diving a drysuit- many variations.
I do the ziplock baggie approach. Get in- zip up, pull the neck seal and squat. You push out all the excess air. Let go of the neck seal. Then I put on my weight and gear.
In the water- I add air as needed (when you feel a little pressure.)
I usually close my valve at 15ft and leave it closed until we start our ascent and then I just open the valve. Only exception is deco- thats another story.
Warning- do not pull on the neck seal while submerged! I had a wrinkle and wanted to straighten it out at 30ft. Yeah, I straighten it out and let in some (4 cups worth) of water. Looked like I peed myself.
Weighting is very important for easy of the suit- experienced drysuit divers will be there to help out- dont be shy.
Have fun!

For those of us who already own DUI drysuits it sounds like a good day to dive Mansfield.
I will be there helping out. I have volunteered to lead tours. Specifically I want to try a different suit as well as a weight system...
LVX, what suit do you have now and what are you wanting to try?
I have a TLS 350 but want to try a CLX450. If they are there, why not?

DOG Days are the best way of trying out drysuits of all different styles & normally the ticket price is well worth it. Our instructor/guide even signed our log books so our dives were used towards AOW cert. or our drysuit cert. which I did not do.
I tried the TLS-350, TLS-SE, CLX-450.
I looked at all different brands. Ended up with a CF-200, great suit for the diving I do & plan on in the future. My wife got a TLS-350.

And for any of you with older suits you might want to sell cheap, so you can take advantage of the really good deals they will have on new ones ... I can use a stock L or XL and will consider any brand and style if the price is right.
I spent :24 minutes in 53 df water today and it was getting cold.

I've been thinking again of selling my signature series CLX450. I may have to test out the TLS350s while i'm there. I wonder if they give super discounts for people that beg...or steal.
