spearfishing emergency

...I wouldnt spend $200 on something that really isnt necesarry...

Hmm.... Please define necessary. By that logic, you wouldn't have a speargun when a Hawaiian sling is all you need. It's not a necessity, not much of my freediving stuff is. It's about comfort.

Jim, does the Dahlak help at all with seas lice at all? That itch can be a little annoying around the swim trunks elastic. I know sting zapper and other products and tricks work, but keeping them out of the shorts would be good.

A few of the original suits would get runs in the nylon over the butt area when the diver would bend over. The new version which will debut in about 4 to 6 weeks will have black supratex all around the pelvic area (kind of like a black pair of shorts).

THANK GOD! No one wants the runs in the butt area... :blackeye

Interesting Jim, Thats what happened with my first omer 3 mil camo suit. I just used the replacement for the first time ever today and yesterday. The bay turned over and I was cooking in my 5 mil with 60f surface temps. Today the wind changed and surface temps dropped to 53 - I was pretty comfy in the 3 mil anyway. - Regardless of all that - this one seems cut a little different - fit is generally better and it doesn't seem quite as tight in bending over dimension. Don't know if they changed their camo suits last fall when I did the switch or if the purple camo is just cut differently than the ocean. Of course I'm not sure the suit is necessary either - I've got an elios 3 mil they sent me by mistake when I ordered my five - smooth out - of course the blue pelagos camo on the 5 isn't really necessary - but then neither is the suit since I already have a 5 nylon out - and a 6 smooth out (with the equally unnecessary green pelagos camo) - I got the Omer 3 to replace my 3 mil elios plush suit - which I don't like anymore - then I lucked out and got the Elios. I feel guilty, what with it not be necessary and all, but some hot little chicklet said 'sweet suit' as she oscillated on by yesterday - last week another one hooted at me in the blue pelagos 5 whether those two incidents represent a kind of 'necessity' is, I suppose; arguable. I wonder what'll happen when I wear the blue Pelagos 3 mil.. Do you think it'll go better with my Hard monofin, my Soft monofin - or my new Russian Hyperfin - which is medium.? I'm pretty sure the last one is necessary, but I'm not sure which one of the first two is.

They changed the cut of the Mimetic suits. My 5mm is the old cut, my 3mm is the new cut. The new cut is a lot better.
