Got it. Does anyone cut off the excess glove that goes beyond the ring? I have found that this sometimes bunches and leads to leakage. I would think that if you leave enough glove on the elbow side of the wrist ring you would have enough material that you don't run the risk of the glove...

Doesn't the air still migrate out of your gloves though if they are lower than the rest of your body (regardless of what is keeping the pathway open)?

Thanks. Got wet this weekend and waxing worked like a charm. I did find that, even with the tubes at the wrist, I still got a lot of squeeze in the glove. I could tilt to lift my hand above my head and get some air in the glove temporarily, but as soon as I moved them back below my body, the...

Where do you apply it? Is this liquid lube or the standard wax?

I recently installed SI Tech Quick Dry Gloves on my Whites Fusion drysuit. I am able to "connect" them (i.e., push the glove into the wrist mount) but i cannot for the life of me disconnect them. Even when I am not wearing the suit and am able to use two hands I am not able to spin the release...

Thanks, I put it on the calendar. April. I might get to practice breathing off a free flowing reg whether I want to or not..

Thanks all for the responses - they have been very helpful. I need to get to a quarry to practice breathing off of a free flowing reg because *gasp* this was not part of my OW class. I actually remember seeing another glass in shallow water doing this and I thought they were just trying to...

I recently move to the Chicago area from Charlotte and am, for the first time, being confronted with the possibility of dealing with (temperature-induced) free flows. I know there are various threads on the subject, but I am curious how people think about free flow in the great lakes. I have...

I have about 150 dives on 2 separate Suunto Gekkos. I just replaced the batteries for the first time after 4-5 years and after the install, they now go into dive mode when they turn on and show zero feet, so you cannot change any settings, etc. I have read about depth gauge failures on...

I will be in Australia in July and will be in Cairns for a few days. I will be diving the first two days and would like to do a rain forest tour or another land activity on the third day. I have heard that Cairns is rather touristy, but wanted to get thoughts as to whether it is worth the...

I am planning to dive in Sydney and on the GBR and but decide to continue to bounce around Australia but I also figure, while I am across the world, might as well see some other places as well if logistically and financially reasonable.

Thanks. I am by no means married to Thailand - it happened to be the first destination that I considered and would certainly entertain other suggestions.

Haha, Lake Michigan is drysuit diving!

I will have about a month between jobs starting in mid-July 2012. I will take two weeks with my wife, likely in Australia and then two weeks alone. I would like to find a destination that is a great combination of travel and diving for that second two weeks. Being that I am already in that...

I zip tie it off to my LP inflator hose so it is out of the way. Even if I am on a warm water trip I will leave it on because it is pretty unobtrusive and it is one more thing to lose if I take it off.

Congrats on number 100! I got dives number 100 and 101 in last weekend and I believe it took me a little over three years. For the first year or more I was really only getting to dive on trips, so maybe three or five times a year depending on how often I could get to the coast. As I have...

I just got the Fusion bullet. Its sitting at the shop waiting for me, but I have been diving the demo, probably for way longer (think months) that the shop would like. I've found it to be very easy to dive in. Minimal roaming air bubble and no problems to speak of with floaty feet. What I...

I was thinking the same thing. May go by bus to luxor and then to marsa, but travel seems excessive. Should two days in Dahab be enough?

I will be in Egypt for two weeks at the end of April and the beginning of May and wanted to get some input in what I should make sure to do. I was planning on doing 3 to 5 days of sightseeing in Cairo and Luxor and then spend the rest diving. I was going to go from Luxor to Marsa Alam to dive...

I grew up in Boston and did not get to the ocean much except on vacation. I had snorkeled breifly and alway found it interesting but didn't have much of an occaision to keep it up. When I moved to Charlotte, my now fiance, whose father is a pilot, had been diving all over the place. I thought...
