    Terrible santi service

    My experience has been very different. I got some movement on my issue when I went to Halcyon after not getting much from the previous Canadian distributor. I bought a mtm dry suit and their bz400 undergarment a year later, also mtm. I bought from the same store and the same person measured and...

    TSandM -- Lynne Flaherty

    I came across TSandM shortly after I started diving back in 2008. I found this forum and soon found her posts on most things about diving, and sorry to the others that post here, she made a lot of sense. I went down the rabbit hole in part because of her. When I found out she was in my area...

    Drysuit care (generic)

    For getting things like your feet dry in a dry suit if wet, bunch up newspaper and stuff it in there. Pull it out the next day.

    Are dry gloves kosher?

    There is a difference being in open water naked and being in a flooded suit. The suit will limit the water exchange next to you so it will actually warm and postpone ill effects of hypothermia. Also good thermals as mentioned will continue to provide benefit in a worst case scenario.

    The most ridiculously overstaffed Fundies class ever taught . . .

    I very much enjoyed reading this thread, it echoes some of my experiences in GUE. I am very fortunate to have got myself stuck in here.

    Cold and unhappy...

    I think you should try less air in your suit as more air does not equal warmer. You only need enough to loft your undergarment and if you float at the surface feet down with the exhaust valve open that feeling will be ideal for what your undergarment needs to keep you most efficiently warm. The...

    Undergarments

    I currently use 4th Element Arctic's under my trilam suit and am fine doing an hour here, 8C to 9C for temps. I grew up in Winnipeg though, your response to cold may vary.

    Standardized Prices?

    Very interesting and something to look forward to. I took this course and did not pass, I will soon take it again and pass. When I first took it, my thoughts going in were that I would do well as I thought myself a good, competent and confident diver. And even though I did not pass that time, I...

    Probably saved myself $2K today

    Including yourself Eric You are a human and your body is adapted to life on the land. Like everyone else you live in a very homogenous environment for pressure, temperature and your body and metabolism are adapted to be good in that. Get in cold water in the 50's F and you will die after a time...

    Probably saved myself $2K today

    I am serious about bringing my dry suit to my next tropical dive vacation. It is not much heavier than my 3mm and last time I was finding myself cold close to the end of my dives. I find dry suits easier to get into and out and they do a much better job keeping me warm. When you dive cold...

    UTD Signature series vs the Si Tech glove lock system

    I went with the KUBI or UTD gloves for my new drysuit. My experience previous was with Diving Concepts rings and they share some features.

    Instructors should take some advanced training as well. Yea or Nay? Does it matter?

    If you were a professional athlete you would have constant coaching, not because you were not great but because you benefit from coaching.
