    Hair woes

    Hi, I use a cap made by speedo out of the same material as a speedo. My hair stays just fine. I also use a neoprene one piece device that fits over my mask strap. The cap should do the trick and it also adds some addtional insulation when use with a hood. =-)

    Package deal vs. piece-meal

    I agree with art.chick, the cheapest just doesn't last. I bought mid-range through the dive shop I recieved my training at. I'm very happy with my equipment. Because I did my training through the shop he gave me a discount also. With regards to e-bay. I would not buy high dollar equipment...

    Wet suit what kind

    Hello, I live in Southern California where the water can get a bit chilly. I have a Henderson One Piece Hyperstretch, 7mil. I just love it. Does not feel like that neoprene stuff and goes on like a glove. The best feature is that it is soooo forgiving when you put on a few pounds.
