    Dry glove system for Santi smart seals

    I only have a couple of dives with this setup so i am not sure how effective it is in the super long run, but it seems like it would hold up. Im sure there are more efficient dry glove systems if you're willing to sacrifice the santi smart seals. I didn't want to send my suit to a shop or back...

    Dry glove system for Santi smart seals

    just came back from diving out in the northeast, off of a beach near boston. The seal was perfect, and I didnt feel a single drop come in from the wrists and my hands were bone dry. Only issue was that the standard glove liners dont insulate very well so my fingers were numb... I also found...

    Diver identity - how to increase underwater

    Some very creative suggestions all around! I custom painted my jet fins with spray plasti-dip to make it look like a shark took a bite out of them. They seem to be holding pretty well, and its flexible enough to move with the fin.

    Dry glove system for Santi smart seals

    Hey mastermind. Its been exactly a month since you started this thread and I have some updates! I received my KUBI drygloves this past weekend and after trying for 3 hours, i managed to install it on the Santi smart seals. It was definitely very frustrating and i almost gave up multiple times...

    Recommendations for a drysuit

    I got my E.motion+ from Santi a few weeks ago, and since this is my first drysuit I cant really compare with others, but I think its pretty awesome. The fit is amazing, the detail and construction is top-notch, and everything from huge pockets, p-valve, and the santi smart seals are included in...

    Dry glove system for Santi smart seals

    Have you found a dry glove system yet? I just ordered the Kubi complete system in the 80mm size. Since we literally have the same suit, ill let you know how it turns out once I receive them. Hopefully they fit and not too bulky with the smart seals..... edit: oops, somehow missed your post with...

    Hello from NYC

    I just joined NYC Sea Gypsies, recommended by another member here. They have a monthly meeting next Monday 3/27 at a pub in Manhattan which I will be attending. The event is free and anyone can show up! Seems like they are a pretty active group of divers.

    Dry glove system for Santi smart seals

    congrats on your new suit! Beat me to it by a couple days...what colors did you get?? Since mine is in transit as we speak, I dont have any first *hand* experience but, after some research I found that you can use a dry glove in lieu of the seal itself. You can see images of it being done here...

    Diving with Sea Turtles and Protune!

    Awesome video! Felt like I got to know the turtle lol. Also, matching scene changes with the beat of the music is a small yet very effective detail.
