    Diameter of Rolock 90s?

    I've got Kubi's (90mm) on the drysuit I just got, seems like a decent system. But along with the neoprene covers, it's a tad bulky. Not a huge deal, but I'm considering a second suit for a backup and with handling various cylinders and considering sidemount in the future, I figured I'd get a...

    First seaskin just arrived - a couple questions

    Just received my Seaskin Nova in the mail. Overall build and quality seems pretty solid. I ordered the Kubi cuff system for to accommodate the 90mm sized glove rings. Just want to make sure they sent me the right diameter? I'd assume the cuff side would be bigger since you just basically shove...

    For Sale Brand New SANTI 7mm hood - Large

    Got this with my Elite+. The large is too small for me (it seems SANTI runs a bit small for hoods - I've heard this from others as well), so here we are. Looks like these hoods typically retail for $120. This one has never touched water, sat in my closet since I got it. I'll ship it to you...

    British commandos during WW2 - drowning enemy divers?

    Reading Deco for Divers, and stumbled upon quite a claim while learning about the history of nitrox mixes in diving. The author mentions the advantages of being able to dial in O2 content for rebreathers, and how a lower O2 mix would allow for deeper diving vs. a pure O2 rebreather - citing...

    Cold water deco regs?

    Ended up with the XT1 by Dive Rite. Happy with it so far, have taken it into 40 degree waters with no issues thus far.

    About to pull the trigger - Seaskin Nova specs

    If I go with Kubi system... how will it be installed in the Nova? Will it look like the option on the far left or far right? I know the center example shows the optional covers but I'm curious what it would look like without 'em.

    Rolock 90

    For someone as fastidious as myself, seeing people who swear by both the Rolock 90 and the Kubi system is almost paralyzing. I'll probably just flip a coin, ultimately sounds like they're both good systems so I'm guessing I'll be fine either way.

    About to pull the trigger - Seaskin Nova specs

    Thanks everyone for the helpful replies. From my first list of specs, I think I'll ditch the crotch reinforcement, may switch to a Sitech neck seal, and may ditch the warm neck. But the most important variable for any item of diving gear is, of course, color. I think I'll be brave and get the...

    About to pull the trigger - Seaskin Nova specs

    Getting my first Seaskin after my brand new Santi Elite + was stolen after about 10 dives. Long story, but here we are. Anyway. Just sharing here in case anyone sees any red flags regarding options. I frequently wear an Aqualung Thermal Fusion + multiple base layers hence the allowance for...

    Hero 12 vs Action 4

    Just took out the Action 4 and Hero 12 for a day of diving to compare footage. The intro and first dive are shot on the DJI, and the surface interval and second dive with the GoPro. 4K 24 FPS, natural color, no grading for both cameras. While the dive sites were different, both had OK ish light...

    DJI Action 4?

    Here's a link to a couple dives - one shot with the Action 4 and one with the Hero 12. The intro, and first dive are with the DJI. The surface interval and second dive are with the GoPro. Shot on the same day, in roughly similar light (the second dive had poorer vis, but was a bit shallower)...

    Trouble reaching Seaskin?

    I actually haven't had much luck either - I reached out to them at their info@ address as told, and never heard back.

    Trouble reaching Seaskin?

    Aaand I figured it out. After some more Googling I was able to get the call through, and they confirmed the email listed on their site is not working. Use info@seaskin.co.uk instead I was told.

    Trouble reaching Seaskin?

    I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a Seaskin Nova, but I had a couple quick questions for Seaskin. I emailed them (sales@seaskin.co.uk), it bounced back undeliverable. I tried calling (from US), can't get the call to go through. It's possible I'm entering the phone number wrong for...

    Rolock 90

    I'll be placing an order for a Seaskin Nova, and I think I'll go with the SiTech oval cuff ring system, then with Rolock 90's and some Kubi latex gloves for dexterity. My current suit utilizes the SiTech round quick cuff system, which I do not care for due to it's bulk. Before pulling the...

    Seaskin Nova - flexibility?

    Good context, thanks. I most often dive a Thermal Fusion, often plus an x-core vest and undergarment for the really cold stuff. I'll be sure to look into getting the extra space for thicker undergarments.

    Seaskin Nova - flexibility?

    I've read up on some other threads regarding the Nova, and the rough consensus that it's generally a solid suit and hard to beat for the price. I've seen folks comment that the suit's generally sturdy which is good to hear as while I'm not yet diving tight restrictions that require a bunch of...
