Hello!If you're in the market for a BC than this might be the one for you. The Ranger is a fantastic BC that I've owned for just under a year. It's only been in the water for approximately 30 dives and from the pictures below you'll see that it's still in great condition. The sizing is an XL, but you'll find it to be really adjustable. Adjustable enough to accommodate within reason a L or XXL. I've decided to sell it because at the moment and for quite some time it's just been sitting in my…See More

Maciej Arkuszewski replied to Matt Johnson's discussion Drysuits - Neoprene vs. Trilaminate

" Also keep in mind that uncrushed neoprene looses buoyancy with depth and as such is considered downright dangerous for any form of technical diving - in case of wing failure you have a huge buoyancy shift to offset."

Suunto Cobra 3 Dive Computer

Hello! I have a Suunto Cobra 3 Dive computer for sale. I've recently picked up another type of computer and do not need both. The Cobra 3 I have is in excellent condition. It does have 15 dives on it, but as you can see from the picture it's still like new. The computer will come with everything I received when I bought it back in July 2010. i.e. Box, Manual, Computer Connector Cord, Computer Software, hose etc. I should also mention that it is still under warranty. Here is the link:…See More

Matt Johnson replied to Matt Johnson's discussion Drysuits - Neoprene vs. Trilaminate

"Thanks everyone for contributing. I appreciate the feedback and although I was originally leaning towards getting a neoprene suit I may be take everyone's advice and get a trilaminate instead. I definitely have a little more reading to do."

Peter Durnford replied to Matt Johnson's discussion Drysuits - Neoprene vs. Trilaminate

"I also prefer the trilaminate, I'm using the fusion tec made by whites and it is very easy to reach my valves. I agree it is also nice to be able to adjust the type of undergarment for different weather conditions. Though it is advisable to use…"

Don Chennavasin replied to Matt Johnson's discussion Drysuits - Neoprene vs. Trilaminate

"I had an O'Three suit in my possession for a few months. Looked high quality and well constructed. A neoprene (crushed or compressed) suit can be quite warm. And if you're only using the suit for local diving, then they can be nice. They…"

"Wow! All really great info. Seems like everyone is pro trilam. Here's some more info I've collected from different places as well. NEOPRENE - 2 kinds Crushed: No real buoyancy change as depth changes because the neoprene doesn't…"

Walter Mampaey replied to Matt Johnson's discussion Drysuits - Neoprene vs. Trilaminate

"I have dived a neoprene dry suit in the past (Bare). Now I'm diving trilaminate (DUI). For me Trilaminate is better because the neoprene was too warm in summertime. When it became colder I had to adapt using the drysuit again. With trilaminate…"

Hunter Lacey replied to Matt Johnson's discussion Drysuits - Neoprene vs. Trilaminate

"I am not familiar with O'Three either, but regardless I agree with the advice you were given. I think you will be much happier with a trilam suit. It's lighter than a neoprene suit on the surface, and (more importantly) unlike neoprene it…"

Drysuits - Neoprene vs. Trilaminate

Hello All!So I'm in the market for a new drysuit and could use a little advice on choosing one. This would be my first suit and experience diving dry so I really don't have much to go on. I was watching the series "Oceans" on BBC awhile back where a bunch of researchers were diving dry and they were all wearing suits made by a company called O'Three. In reading i've found that O'Three makes a couple different versions of neoprene drysuits of which by all accounts and measures seem to be pretty…See More
