  • Wet suit Care

    So last Friday night I set all my stuff out for a day of diving. I sprayed my suit with conditioner and put it in a plastic bag at my front door to grab and go in the morning. Saturday morning comes and the surf is kicking hard on the beach cams so I don't bother going.
    My question is, will it be ok for the suit if it is left with the conditioner in it for prolonged periods of time? And if so what would you think is the comfortable time limit? I already washed it out but I was just wondering as this has happened to me before.

  • dive (spearfishing) ALONE..

    I started solo and still dive solo, I have made stupid mistakes and learned from them on my own.


    I don't understand why you would beg someone to go out with you. One thing though you gotta look out for boats on your own when ascending and around these waters you can have a silent killer sail boat or an idiot on a rental jet-ski pass 10 feet away from you. That raises the hair on the neck.

  • New Yak!

    Thanks Lunkbuster, I was putting all this together in my head to see if there would be any advantage in a Kayak for me.

  • New Yak!

    How do you transport do you have a truck or strap it down.


    Cause I have a small car, I was hoping it won't catch the wind and blow me off the road.:D


    How much did it run you in the end if you don't mind me asking?


    Thanks for the help.

  • New Yak!

    How have you liked the kayak now that you have used it for a while?


    Is there anything you would change or would like to see that is not present?


    I am asking cause it seem just the right size to be carried on my car and stored in my home.


    Also where did you buy it? Gander Mountain?

  • Cressi Reaction

    What was your situation specifically, you never stated what you were using them for in the initial post. How shallow is the water?
    I had some short fins when I just started out and I just ended up returning them and buying some Cressi fins. I was shore diving to water that was around 10 to 15 feet back then and that is pretty shallow.
    So if your in a similar situation buy the cressi or some other long fin.

  • Broward Beach Conditions

    Went out today in my new Pursuit suit, it was excellent I think my body was not used to it initially and I actually felt hot then I cooled off and the suit performed excellently. I spent three hours on the water with not even a shiver. I did leave the hood off most of the time.


    On a second note I got a good size hog and a couple margates today and experienced the same thing as hau, red groupers coming in to check out what was going on.


    Which reef is the one after the drop off, 2nd or 3rd? I swam out there today, the swim wasn't a problem but I was scared shit less about boats so I headed closer to shore.

  • Psychological acceptance of death

    Quote from monster slayer

    Life is going to kill us eventually, but not without a damn good fight. I have already won, what happens next is just stamp collecting. There is just one thing that I fear more than death and its being old and weak, I rather dying shitting in my pants fighting a huge predator or a heavy surf, than literally dying old shitting in my pants for no reason at all. Just saying



    I am young now but I have given my little brother permission to off me when I start needing adult diapers.

  • Spearfishing wetsuits by Speardiver

    I just wanted to describe the Bluewater suit.
    The stitching was the first thing I looked at, the seams all meet evenly and smoothly.


    The cuffs fit really well around my ankles and wrist with a just right feeling.


    I feel like the suit holds on tightly to me but when I move or twist it follows.


    The loading pad is in just the right place and size, and no where else. It is the right size so that I do not feel like I have something stuck on to my chest.


    The elbow and knee pads for some reason are my favorite part of the suit.
    -The pads start at the knee and extend far down the shins.
    -The elbows do the same starting from the elbow to the wrist on the outside of the arm.


    The hood is well a hood and i covers your head. My hair is kinda past due for a cutting now but it still fit well.


    A whole lot of thought went into these suits and it really shows in the final product.


    Thanks to Dan again for having me and taking the time to make sure I got what I needed :thumbup:


  • My New Speardiver Wetsuit

    I met DAN and Pantoja today for the first time really cool guys. Stepped into my first open cell spearfishing suit ever, and I think it will be the only one I ever need.
    Dan will tell you I was only smiles the whole time.:D
