Re: Stretching Neoprene

Dont let anyone catch you. You will never live it down if they do.

Re: Stretching Neoprene

If there's a chance of being caught it'll probably be worth going for a total 'kit up'...that wind up shark is gonna get it! (good chance i'll miss though)

Re: Stretching Neoprene

i hear some seals swallow small pebbles to trim their buoyancy. I tried that with Curries but it seems to have the opposite effect...

Re: Stretching Neoprene

Right..

Bath test last night went well. Gloves much better when wet. I'm still going to give them some stretch treatment just to be sure. Incidently, the viz was really poor, down to 200mm! Never dive in the Radox sea (eventhough it smells nice)...

Re: Stretching Neoprene

YOU PUT RADOX IN YOUR BATH!!!
Didnt you know real divers take cold showers or better yet rub themselves down in the rain or snow
