Drysuit Diving What do you need...

[Manatee Diver]

Well it fit, and I got to experience the dampness of drysuit diving.

I'm putting my dive to dive transition stuff in my thread in the tech forum. But now to build the drysuit extension of my save a dive kit.

Spare neck and wrist seals. Zipper wax. Whatever you use to lube seals. Extra inflator hose.

Spare neck and wrist seals. Zipper wax. Whatever you use to lube seals. Extra inflator hose.

Right now I have in it:
Neck seal (they were out of wrist seals more coming very soon)
Zipper wax
Bandage Scissor that was mentioned earlier in this thread
EMT Shears (Kristi at CCDS says she finds it the best way to trim them)
Couple of spare catheters and a couple of spare remove wipes
OMS Pee Valve tool

I'll add an inflator hose once I have the length dialed down. Going to order some of those connectors and the valve parts mentioned earlier in the thread.

What do you use to lube your seals?

Talc. It’s in a little shaker bottle.

My kit includes a spare pair of dry gloves and a pair of sharp scissors to use to cut my seals (the zip seals are uncut).

Well it seems that my pee valve isn't QD.

I ordered some of the QD parts that @Ulfhedinn listed, thinking that it was a QD model. I am thinking that I would be able to rig up a QD using what I bought intending to be spare parts.

How do you guys carry your undergarments onto the boat? Assuming that it is too hot to wear until just before the dive.

Separate bag.

Separate bag.

Dry bag? About how big?

I’ve never messed with a dry bag on a boat. The boats I’ve been on had a dry area, which was in the cabin. I just had a bag for my undies.

If you have a family/roomate you get bonus points for standing the suit up in the garage, fully inflated, and scaring the crap out of them when they notice it.
