    Red face Equipment problem

    I have a problem with my "equipment". Nature has blessed me with a very large undercarriage, which obviously has its benefits, but after a couple of hours in a wetsuit gets very uncomfortable. Any other "overhung" gents out there have any tips as to how to correct this?

    Yes, it is a curse isn't it...

    I believe you need to look up a "Mrs. Bobbitt". I think she can take care of your problem.

    If you are *really* having a comfort problem, I would think your wetsuit is too small.

    I think it's common knowledge that

    most trolls are 'hung like a gnat'...

    Thanks for playing.

    My advice would be to dive extremely cold water.Once you hit that cold water all problems will be solved.

    Two options.
    1. Have your local wetsuit repair person add tool pouch/sock to the front of your wetsuit.
    2. Cut a hole in your wetsuit and let it hang out. If you prefer this option then several other options become available. For example, you could put a D-ring in it and use it for scootering (this will require you to shorten your tow chord, though), or for hanging extra spools, reels, camera, or whatever.

    Surely the DIR solution would be to cut it off- unnecessary drag in the water and at best a distraction from diving?

    I think the DIR approach would require you to attach cave line to the "equipment" and a SS snap bolt so u can clip it off, thus reducing drag.

    Don't forget to paint it tekkie black, unless you intend to use it as a safely sausage.
