Drysuit Diving What do you need...

[Ulfhedinn]

Dry bag? About how big?

I use this... size kinda depends on what you want stuff in there. Then this goes in the bag with the drysuit

Not sure what parts you have but I think it's a must to have a shut off valve. This is the one I have...

I have one like this. I'm on the fence about whether I'm going to keep it installed. I've had the release button get pushed accidentally, disconnecting me without my knowledge. Not pleasant, so be warned....

I ordered the part numbers in the other quoted post. But it looks almost exactly the same.

Oh ok, I'm not sure what could accidentally push in a flush button but thanks for the heads up.

I know, me neither!! But now I'm paranoid....

Lol I don't blame you! Maybe it wasn't quite clipped in?

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

Have never been bothered with the latter. Drive to site wearing undergarments (and receiving odd looks when you stop at a convenience store to buy a Coke and a couple chocolades), suit up and sit in the boat wearing the DS with a closed zipper. Because it takes some 15 kg to sink me, so if the boat capsizes I'm gonna float high and pretty dry. Too bad about my rig, my weight belt and my camera gear if that happens, though.

@Manatee Diver did you ever settle on a undergarment configuration? How did your decision change for your Mexico cave trips?

I haven't been to Mexico yet, I am hoping very soon.

But yes Florida caves I am running the arctics, sometimes I overheat if I am overworking but I am completely comfortable other wise. Mexico I will probably run the Xerotherms.
