Tell me about your drysuit...

You might also want a different hood. The Fusion has a place to tuck the skirt of a wet suit hood, but you may look like a frilled lizard in other dry suits. Besides a 'dry' hood doesn't leak nearly as much water. The hood makes a big difference in warmth but is not a big ticket item. I have the Bare zip hood (Mack recommended) and really like it.

You might want warmer gloves too, despite usual problems with loss of dexterity. Dry gloves can get pricey.Someone recommended on Scubaboard sells Viking rings (only) for around $100. You can get the smurf gloves at Lowes. For single tank dives down to 62F I haven't worn any gloves.

Dry suit diving is different, but the same. It's new pieces to worry about, a new way of dressing (twice!), minor tweaks to equipment, minor (hopefully) tweaks to trim. You can do it. I'm diving Spring Lake tomorrow and will be _glad_ to be dry.

I will add this con: I've got to replace my neck seal soon and wish I had zip seals. I'm going to replace my seals w/ zip seals... still working on who to send it too QUOTE]

One of the best , and reasonable on price is Steve Gamble for drysuit repairs. I think that most of the cave community uses him. Over the years I used him with very easy transactions. If I am not mistaken Steve does all of Dive rites Repairs & modifications. Contact

I have come to the conclustion that drysuit hoods need to be tried on. My DUI hood that fits is an XL. I ordered a White's DS hood in a medium and it's too big

I was looking at this option for the future when I need to change my seals,
Nek Tite Neck Seal System, Si Tech Nek Tite Neck Seal System - Dive Right In Scuba - Plainfield, IL

That's a pretty cool system and I like the Video(s) that Mike put together for it.
