    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    Finally got my suit on June 20th. Suit itself looks great. Without undergarments a bit too loose around the upper body, but still good (ordered extra space). Used the same measurements for undergarments and must say that the 250g version feels a bit too tight around the chest (probably because...

    Calculated weight for new drysuit seems odd, second opinion needed

    Thank you very much guys. Unfortunately I have never done any weight checks so far. My instructor never asked me to and never taught me. I never thought about it. Recently I got in touch with some technical things and wanted to go into that direction. That´s how I found this balanced rig...

    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    Same like me, I ordered on March 3rd, dispatch June 6th and no tracking number received until June 10th. I sent an email and got a quick response that they will look into it. No more reply. So I sent another email and urged them to check for the reason, cause I needed it on June 15th (tomorrow)...

    Calculated weight for new drysuit seems odd, second opinion needed

    I have free access to an indoor pool around 3,5m depth, a giant water tank around 12m depth and 45m wide and several lakes around 10m depth. That should not be the problem. I just thought it could be calculated pre diving....

    Calculated weight for new drysuit seems odd, second opinion needed

    Hm, that makes some kind of sense. I do have some numbers but no specific numbers for my equipment. For example my first and second stages are an mk22 abyss, heavy steel version which I have no idea of what buoyancy it creates....probably best to find an instructor who can properly check my gear...

    Calculated weight for new drysuit seems odd, second opinion needed

    I used a different calculator than the one mentioned by alekseolsen. It is an excel sheet by a guy named Benjamin (balanced rig calculator v1.1) But you are right, harness, wing should more or less float too, so I don´t have to calculate it in. Lights definitely sink. So have to calculate them...

    Calculated weight for new drysuit seems odd, second opinion needed

    Hi, I ordered a drysuite which should be here by tomorrow and used a calculator to get my balanced rig. But somehow the numbers don´t match my expectations. Perhaps I had an oversight or keyed in something wrong? I weighted my wing (entire wing with backplate, webbing, bubble, additional but...

    Looking for wide angle but not for video/photo

    Hi, can anybody recommend me a torch light which has a wide angle (like 45-120°) for recreational diving? I already have a spot light Orcatorch D710 which is not bad, but I sometimes wish to see a bit more in front of me when it´s dark and clear. I don´t need it for video/photo so it can be as...

    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    Total in GBP excluding tax and shipping is around 1350. I just hope that customs won´t kill it. I do not really have experience with taking measurements of myself, but I have some tailored suits and together with their guide it was not really a hard task (I hope). What I bet on is that some said...

    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    Just placed my order for a Nova Suit today. Options include: All black, no stripes, no logo cause I found it looked nice (someone posted a picture in this thread) Telescopic torso, allowance for thick undersuits plus elastic back panel (I measured myself at home, made it a "snug" like tight fit...

    XDeep Zeos vs Ghost

    Hm, you do not have to register in order to buy something from them, neither did i. Shipping xdeep out of Europe could be a pain since now every country seems to be playing trade wars their customs should be extremely happy charging you tenfold ;) One option might be a trusted fellow within...

    XDeep Zeos vs Ghost

    Is it legal to post such websites here? Otherwise it would be divezone pl. Top middle gives you the chance to change from Polish pl to English language as well as between Zloty and Euro. I must admit ( just saw it a few secs ago ) that they officially do only send packages around Europe. BUT...

    Has anyone tried on a Scubapro EverFlex?

    At first I wanted to buy an 8/7 Aqualung too, but too many complaints about spoiled zippers left me wondering

    XDeep Zeos vs Ghost

    I just bought a Zen, cause Ghost backplate cannot be changed, otherwise I would have bought a Ghost. Zen now comes with new colors too. I imported it from Poland. Around 399 Euro for standard color Zen including SS backplate

    How to detect underwater current , upstream, downstream

    Hi is it possible to see underwater currents, up or downstreams before diving right into them? As a new diver I tried to watch as many videos on youtube as possible to get an overview of what awaits me down there. I saw divers getting flushed away or dragged down, pushed up without being able to...

    Newbie with backzipper problems

    Thank you very much. And here I thought that I might just be too stupid for it... ok might still be the case, but I like the idea of letting my buddy do the heavy work ahahaha

    Newbie with backzipper problems

    Hi, I just bought my first wetsuit (7mm) and it comes with a backzipper.... how do you guys zip it up without a helping hand? It´s so frustrating... it has an additional layer behind to protect it from water leaking into it but the zipper always gets stuck at there. I sweat like 5 liters away...
