This is from Rodale's! I think I have their entire list of Top 10's archived. In my opinion it's the number two shining part of the site, after the gear reviews.
Too bad they're new web layout is incredibly lousy and hard to use.

Now, Raisin, I dove with Dr Bill in Catalina two weeks ago and he was sporting a new "used" wetsuit. Now his booties on the other hand looked like Swiss cheese with its many obvious holes.

Sam and I are actual witnesses and dove with DrBill in his new suit 2 weeks ago.

Time for a replacement when your wetsuit looks like this: the infamous DrBill suit.

So now DrBill finally replaced the suit...

You know it's time for a replacement:
When your cold water booties look like open-toed sandals.

All in gest DrBill.

Hi, Elena,

His booties were pretty funny looking with all the large holes, note the plural, in them. And like Elena said, all in fun, Dr. Bill. We love ya and your holey booties.

Sam, this is a family friendly forum and I'm not sure it's the place to be talking about Dr. Bills Bootie Hole...
