Safe to leave gear out over night on your patio?

Better a lizard than a scorpion..My advice; Always make it a habit to bang your dive boots BEFORE putting them on.

Don't, the feeling of crushed cockroach underfoot isn't pleasant.....

Jim,

I always use, at least, a skin now. I got hit by a bell jelly on my arm OUCH. My arm swelled up and and 3 long marks on it. I used white vinegar on it dried and washed it again, then a mix of baking soda and water paste. The swelling went down in a couple of days, but the marks took almost a month to go away.

Yes, my son, Morgan's experience with those little fellows taught us all the value of a skin. I dived the Caribbean for years in just a swim suit, but usually wear a skin now. Morgan still doesn't tan where they got him, almost 6 years afterward!

Those things may be small, but they pack a punch.
