Guess who bought a Black Ice dry suit today!

That bad boy is awesome! although I must say that I really look forward to installing a P-valve in the thing. I graduated from diapers a very long time ago and don't look forward to getting back into them.


I'm just gonna leave the whole bungie conversation alone.........

Being warm really help to lower my SAC rate. In my wetsuit I knew exactly where I would hit 1/6ths on each tank. I almost didn't have to look (I still did of course). In my drysuit I was able to go further. Typically I had to make my first switch right at the first breakdown. Right now I am making my first switch just as I pass "chicken head rock." I found that I will now have to turn due to NDL time running low than on gas (at the current flow rate). When Glen, Denise, and I turned yesterday just past the back end of the second breakdown we had about nine minutes until we ran out of NDL time. I still had 350 psi until I hit 1/6ths in my second tank. That is very nice and it will only get better once I really get comfortable with my drysuit.

Looking forward to making it back out to JB tommorow to meet up with MrXray, Hetland, and Recharge for some cavern dives.

I guess it's a good thing you're doing your decompression course next month! You just have to get cave scheduled and you'll be unstoppable!!!

You just have to get cave scheduled

I have been thinking about that already.

Congratulations to Mat and Walter on the new Black Ice Suits!! They are awesome! I love the pee valve and latex neck seal Steve Gamble installed for me!

Mat in a drysuit? I won't believe it till I see it...and I'll probably never see it because I'll never get out of Auburn to go diving till who knows when!

You are always welcome to go down with me... I'm driving down any weekend I can find a boat to go out on.

Note: I live in Auburn.. well sort of... I also live in Destin and Knoxville.

My DS is at Steve Gambles right now....getting the hard boots lopped off and going to socks. Gamble is a nice guy...he is VERY backed up right now....I have NEVER seen so many drysuits in one place, and I have been to the Pinnacle Wearhouse in Livermore, CA (before Zeagle acq). Well looks like you have a good fit! I am ready to get wet( while being dry) soon!
