I wholly agree with Dr. Bill. The reality is that, although descended from inhabitants of the sea -- we are no long physiologically sea creatures . . . From today's NYT article...

I wish it were that simple. The problem is that the warmth of any wetsuit, or any layering system, is going to have as much to do with the fit of those garments as it does with just the thicknesses. All things being equal -- good-fit wise -- I generally prefer the flexibility of layering...

Doc, would it be "off topic" for someone to note how much you appear to to be . . . um, especially well suited :eyebrow: . . . to moderate a forum on gel suits?

You might want to take a look at the Fourth Element line. Nearly everything in their line that I have tried is tailored for an "athletic" (lean) build.

Them points is moots . . . TSA don't allow no stinking points.

What Sevenrider860 said. I'm a big fan of all things ZAGG -- GPS protectors, dive computers (Suunto) protectors, laptop computer protectors, Iphone protectors, Ipod protectors . . . if it has a screen that I have any concern about scratching, I probably have a Zagg protector on it. The things...

Breaking in a new wetsuit Seems to me the question is not one of "breaking in" the wetsuit, but rather one of proper maintenance to help keep it "new" as long as possible. Rinse thoroughly in clean water after every dive session. Make sure the zipper(s) are free of any crud/sand/accumulated...

. . . or, you could always top that pizza with a little baby shampoo!

I'm still waiting to hear if "4" was the correct answer . . .

I guess my only question would be: How long will it be before DiverGuard has a unit that will work for all those folks who have I3 BCDs? Seems like a huge potential market that's being grossly overlooked here . . .

What would you do different, if you had PADI OW certification to do all over again? I would have taken the course thirty years sooner.

1. First of all, thank you for your service to our country. 2. You're wrong and tigerman explained the simple mathematics to you in post #62 3. Your insulting other's countries does nothing to improve your arguments. 4. I'm an American diver too, and there's several thousand more of us...

There is (was) a PADI 5-Star shop in Greeley, CO, less than one hour from Cheyenne -- Tortuga Bay. The owner, Ron Bland, is a PADI Course Director.

Count me as another often satisfied customer and a big fan -- the first place I will go to on the internet if I can't buy it from my LDS.

Not really on the radio anymore . . . but then there really isn't any music on radio anymore. But back in the day -- hey, that's a way different story. Two songs from my childhood "radio days" come to immediate mind: 1. Octopus's Garden -- some obscure British band OCTOPUS'S GARDEN -...

If I remember my biology correctly, the reason that so many cold-blooded animals -- especially small cold-blooded animals -- have such highly toxic venom is because they are primarily prey for, or preying on, other cold-blooded animals. They have developed their high degree of toxicity as an...

Can you have too much gear ? The answer depends -- Are you somebody's husband, or somebody's wife?

Whoa, Whoa . . . shhhhhhhhhhh . . . There's absolutely no "censorship" here at Scubaboard. Nope, nope, nope . . . ; that would be untoward. We have "moderation" here. There's a huge difference -- huge! Be advised that if you continue to persist in this "censorship" nonsense, you should...
