    Closed Ultra Compressed Neoprene Drysuit

    Ultra compressed neoprene drysuit, made by Seaskin in the UK, like new, used only 3 times, custom-made but has never fit me properly. I believe this suit would fit a smaller man, woman or teenager. The legs and hips are very slim. It will fit a person with maximum height of 5'5", 38 inch...

    Zeagle Ranger for warm water diving?

    I am planning an extended dive vacation in the tropics (3-4 months - freedom 55!) My husband and I both dive with Zeagle Rangers here in cold water of British Columbia with dry suits and undergarments. We have never used our Rangers in warm water. I am wondering about comfort and performance...

    Getting a neoprene drysuit over your hips

    I have a 4 mm compressed neoprene drysuit (Bare CD4 Pro). I bought it used, so did not have the benefit of custom sizing or anything like that. The suit is a Ladies small, and it has a curved shape, that is, narrower at the waist. The problem I have is that I need to get that waist part over...

    SI Tech - silicon neck seal sizes

    I have a question regarding the size of silicon neck seals. The SI Tech website lists two sizes: standard (11 - 14.5 inches) and small (8.6 - 11.8 inches). My neck is 13.25 inches, so I ordered the regular size. It is huge! Brand new, never been used, all 7 trim lines intact. So loose as...

    Hi all - I have a Bare CD4 Pro Drysuit (4 mm compressed neoprene). It is a ladies small size. I need a larger opening for my head, so I have to replace the neck seal. I would love to go with silicone. I phoned Bare twice, and got two different answers - first person said Neck Tite would fit...

    Difference betw Nexus 1 and 3?

    I am looking at a used Whites Nexus 1 drysuit. What is the difference between a Nexus 1 and a Nexus 3? The person selling the suit says it's three old, the neck seal was already replaced, and the wrist seals have become gummy and need replacing. I am surprised that seals would deteriorate...

    No more prescription mask needed

    I am in my mid-forties, and am having trouble reading small print ( sound familiar, anyone?) I've worn glasses since I was 10, and have used prescription lenses in my mask. Recently, my optometrist suggested that I try diving without any corrective lenses. Luckily, I still had the blanks that...

    BC doesn't float

    I have a Zeagle Ranger BC, size small. I use a steel 72 3000 psi tank. I use 26 pounds of lead total, 12 pounds in each pocket and 2 pounds on the tank strap. I noticed that when I took my fully inflated vest/tank/weights/reg off at the surface at the end of a dive, and tied it to the boat...

    Descend with snorkel?

    Lots of discussion over snorkel or no snorkel.... Thought I would take the plunge, and start a new thread, not on the merit or lack thereof, but specifically: Have you ever started your descent with your snorkel in your mouth instead of your regulator? This is a chance to laugh at...

    DCS or not?

    I became very sick after two dives in July 2002. Although I am fine now, I still wonder what happened. Here are the facts: Dive #1: Wreck dive, Columbia - 300 ft destroyer, 51 degree water, age 39, slim & fit, depth 98 ft, 26 minutes. At the deck of the destroyer (about 75 feet), we were...

    Sea Lions at Race Rocks, Victoria

    I had an awesome dive at a well-known marine ecological preserve known as Race Rocks. The name is due to the current racing past the rocks. The site is accesible only by boat, about 15 minutes south of Victoria, BC. I dove with Ogden Point Dive Shop; Pierre was the captain; eight divers on...

    How much to service a reg?

    I recently had a regulator serviced. It's an older US Divers Conshelf 21 primary, US Divers Octo, US Divers Conshelf 21 first stage. There's an inflator hose for the BC as well as a drysuit inflator hose. I'm sure my LDS did a very thorough job, and the technician, as well as the owner...

    Ordering Weezle from the UK

    I am considering purchasing a 2-piece Weezle Extreme undersuit from Mikes Dive Store in the UK. Any UK divers or anyone else know anything about this chain of stores? Are they decent businesses that offer a reasonable level of service? Or does anyone have any other retailers to suggest? The...

    How much weight in COLD water?

    I would like to limit this poll to cold saltwater diving, please. There is just too much difference in weight to take a poll on warm, cold, fresh and salt at the same time. I am 5'4'' and 123 lbs. I use a trilaminate drysuit, and stretch fleece undergarments (total 400 g). With an AL80...

    I have heard there is some really good diving in Barkley Sound, around the Broken Islands Group, on the west coast of Vancouver Island. I am planning to be in Ucluelet in July 2002. Has anyone tried the diving around there? If so, can anyone recommend a charter operator and/or favorite spots...
