    Cold Water Freediving wetsuit

    Hello all, Can anyone please recommend a freediving (open cell) wetsuit for cold weather. Ideally I'm looking for something that could be used in the Norwegian arctic in winter, but also in California year round?

    Alternative to Backscatter as UW Photography Shop

    Teric NDL Plan

    I ran the NDL planner before a dive, and it was giving me 17 minutes for 100ft. When I reached 100ft, the NDL value was 5min. Next dive, surface interval of 2 hours, same 17min on the planner, I decided to change the GF conserv. level to low, and got the same 5min at 100ft. I reached out to...

    Greetings from Southern California

    Oh not at all, actually I'm a very frequent "flyer" at Laguna Beach. I meant to say my frequent diving spans all the way from Coronado Islands to the Channel Islands.

    Waterproof drysuit

    Thank you so much for your response. I have pretty much set my mind around the D7X. Size wise, do they run small or big?

    Hello! I'm in the Orange County area, but try to dive as much as possible between Coronado Islands and the Channel Islands. Not any particular preference dives wise. My main focus is photography. How about you?

    Waterproof drysuit

    Greetings, I’m looking into purchasing a Waterproof drysuit. I’ve been leaning towards the D1X Hybrid ISS, but as I do more and more research, it seems that it takes quite some weight to sink it. Now I’ve started looking at other models within the same brand, specifically the D7X Nylotech and...
