Are there any footpockets (not open heel) that that will fit a shoe size 13 foot? The actual measurements of the foot are 12" long and 4.75" wide.

Does anyone else think body paint could work for man of war?

They were thick just a week ago.

There should be some kind of product, a cream or paint that you can smear on parts of the face that will form a barrier that man of war stingers can't get past.

Yes it's the omer. I spit out the snorkel on every dive. I don't have to clear the snorkel to breath immediately on breaking the surface. I think this kind of hood would hinder the process.

Does anyone else think this could be dangerous?

That is true.

The most important use I hear of for a freedive computer is keeping surface interval time. I never used a watch so I'm no expert on them. But many guys use them, some divers that I know and respect, so I have to question myself whether I should use a watch. My logic is though that as a rule I don't want to rely on any machine for my safety. I believe it dulls the senses so to speak. But if we talk specifics, lets say the recommended surface interval is 3 minutes, and the watch tells you it's time, but if you're swimming against current, you can have a surface interval of 10 minutes and still not be able to dive as well as if you had two minutes of relaxed surface time to breath up. What good is the watch in this situation? And if it fails to guide you in a particular set of circumstances then it can fail in another. I think there's no substitute for learning myself and feeling when I'm ready to dive. Past that it's a matter of choice and taking a risk. But at least you're aware of it.

Yep that was some sniping.
Good teamwork. That was very cool watching the fish turn redder and redder as you came to the surface. Nice vid.

Why hog hunters?

And so is using the best gear. You know you are when you don't have to think about it any more.

I think preference is directly proportional to how many different, in this case snorkels, someone has tried. Very often people think that what they have is the best because they simply haven't tried something better. It's in our nature to get accustomed to whatever we're using. I see this with other gear all the time. In the case of fins guys only realize how inferior what they were using before is when they spend some time with the new gear, than switch back just to see the difference. Apart from the obvious points I initially listed in this thread, lightness is what sets apart a good snorkel.

Marco, thanks for the heads up on the battery problem. I spoke to Aeris about it and was told it was fixed a while back with a firmware update. All new watches now come with new firmware and are problem free.
-
I never really looked at most of the watches, but I just got the Oceanic Geo last week and it looks to be the same as the Aeris F-10.
Aeris is a division of Oceanic.

Heal fast Phil.

Neat. I wonder how tight it is around the barrel.

If I remember right John you have the 2nd generation, those were the really stiff ones. If you see them as being too soft then the 3rd generation will be even softer.
