My New Dry Suit - Update...

[Erik Il Rosso]

I logged 9 dives with my new dry suit and new Jet Fins...

Things are going better, I am able to stay horizontal and my new fins help me in keeping my feet low, I put a little bit more air into the suit and I am much warmer while my movements are not so restricted...

I must say that I am learning to love my dry suit expecially during surface intervals...

I still have to get the hang of my new Jet Fins, I feel like I have got concrete blocks on my feet and also I do not risk to stay mid-water afraid that I could go up like a cork...

In the end I think that I do not trust my dry suit exhaust valve too much while I think I should...

Hope I will be able to stay safely mid-water very soon, I am already fed up to stay near the bottom ready to grab a rock in case of problems or seeking the anchor line like a mad...

Ciao Erik Il Rosso

Hey Erik My last two gear purchases where Jet fins and a drysuit. Pretty funny. I have dove the drysuit about 15 times it is great! The jet fins a about 5 dives I like them but still getting used to them.

totally normal! I for one know exactly how you feel about the auto dump feature... I still don't totally trust it and always trying to work out that little extra bubble.... give it time.
