You can review the manual of the product here: http://userguides.tribord.s3.amazonaws.com/P16%20USG%20Easybreath%2017.08.2015%20IT.pdf As you can see, the product confirms to directive 89/686/EEC (EU regulation for personal protective equipment), which grants it the CE label. As you can also...

Get a hooded vest (for underneath your wetsuit), they're much better than just a hood because they also add some extra thermal protection to your chest and stop the water from cooling you through your back zipper. Hoods are something that requires getting used to really, so make sure you get a...

I don some neoprene sock before putting my suit, makes sliding in easier.Ik Overall it gets easier with experience. Never just pull hard on your suit, everyone who isn't used to wetsuits does that, but it creates a suction effect and generally makes it harder. It's better to wriggle a finger...

The fourth elementh booties seem to have great finish and attention to detail like most of their stuff. The price is also high however. Honestly, as long as the thickness and sole are sufficient I don't think it matters overly much what booties you pick. Something I recommend is purchasing...

The shorts seem nice, but wouldn't it be more logical if they made a single leg accessory with a pocket on it? That way you could likely reduce the cost and make it easier to don and replace.

Hello to all. First of all, I'm incredibly sorry to hear of this incident and I would offer my condolences to all involved and hurt. Also, I'd like to come clean on something even though I'm a new poster: if you read my profile info, you'll see I'm listed as "working for a diving brand", the...

I had to actually look up what you those two items entailed. Looking at the description and seeing that it's basically freediving while being towed by a jetski I feel confused about you saying you're a beginner. If you're really a beginner snorkeler / freediver, I would really, REALLY, advise...

Indeed, it can be quite different per region. However, I know this to be the case for a number of countries, including the ones issued to me in Belgium. So it felt to me like the most likely explanation.

The valve definitely has to be screwed off completely, that much I know because we've carried bottles abroad. Checking for a client who wanted to take a bottle abroad however, his particular destination also required him to carry a certification that the bottle had been inspected recently. But...

I'm no PADI diver, that said: I find it really important to know who I'm diving with. So please mention your name and possibly tell a little bit about your experience. I'm just back from a vacation in Lanzarote where the first dive we did had a super short briefing, which was really not...

I realise this thread is old so you probably have found the answer by yourself already. But all CMAS cards have an expiry date on them, not because they're fake, but because your CMAS card is linked with an insurance. CMAS usually works with clubs, when you pay your membership fee for your club...

Usually it's an overshorty used solo. You see it being offered instead of fullsuits sometimes by dive centers who are looking to be cheap (as in my previous example). Confusion can begin for some people because sometimes these overshorties come with a leaflet that rates them as a category C...

I once dove a 5mm shorty (rental gear that was handed to me) in Turkey when the outside temperature was around 45°C and water temperature at the surface near 30°C. At 20 meters depth we hit a sharp thermocline. After a 45 minute dive I then spent about an hour shivering in the scalding heat on...

I dive a freediving / spearfishing wetsuit as well in cold water. It is a much warmer combination than a semi-dry, except possibly it might compress more at depth. Your idea is a good one I think, personally I just dive it for the warmth and flexibility compared to regular wetsuits, but a lot...

After seeing all the rave reviews of this suit I decided to buy it last december. I normally dive a double 7mm spearfishing suit (yeah, crazy huh) in colder water, because of the combined warmth and flexibility the open cell material offers. But I wanted a regular semi-dry to compare and...
