Thanks for this review! Could you please do a review of the Fenix 8 Garmin next?

You bring up a good point. Cars now come with Key Fob. How do you protect it from Damage or Theft while Diving? I have been fortunate to dive places where families were nearby.

There are a few rigid canisters you can bring down with you like DryFob. I usually pop it inside my drysuit to tempt fate. With keyless-start fobs you can't pop them in a tow-hitch lock unless it blocks signals. I have a Faraday Pouch that I can pop the electronic part into the glove box and use the metal key to lock the doors and bring that down with me.

Hello, I bought a scubapro definition 5mm wetsuit several years ago. From this experience I will never buy a back zip suit from any manufacturer. From the first dive I have never once been able to zip it up or down myself. Every time I have to ask someone to help me. I am going to replace it with the new Waterproof W8 5mm suit that has a front zip.

I've never understood to backzip craze. Especially since I've lost some dexterity as I've gotten older. Back zip is just so much more difficult. I don't want to have to rely on someone else when prepping for a dive

Hi Mark, how accurate do you believe this Class B rating is? I often wonder. Apeks thermiq adv 8/7 semi-dry carries the same rating, I believe, but I know several people who dive it down to about 6° or 7° C.

@daviddean15 3 ай бұрын

Totally agree with you

@@TankVgryazi It all depends on you, I was diving in 7mm two peace in 7°c and it was very cold, I like having drysuit for everything under 17°c, I have friend that is compleatly ok in 12° with 7mm wetsuit. Try diving in multiple suits if you can, but for 6° - 7° you really should have drysuit its much better

how about Yulex 2mm? how's that compared to usual neoprene in terms on bouyancy?

@ScubaDiverMagazine 2 ай бұрын

Yulex is often more buoyant than traditional neoprene. You won't notice much of a difference with thinner suits but, be prepared to add some extra lead, especially if you're replacing an old 3mm suit.

Interesting! By the way what size are you? M and 90kg? I am asking Because I have scubapro definition 7mm and I am 90kg and I can fit inside anymore 😢

@ScubaDiverMagazine 2 ай бұрын

Yeah I'm around 90kg but I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm a size Large now and probably an Extra Large after Xmas.

@@ScubaDiverMagazine after Christmas holidays 😀, hahaha! I understand you well! On this video, what size suit you use? I asking because I want to order but I am thinking between M or LS size

@ScubaDiverMagazine 2 ай бұрын

I've also been stress-eating with two kids under two years old but, I'm used to my wetsuits shrinking every Xmas season. That suit was a Large and felt good once it was on. Scubapro has a good Find Your Size recommender on their website and the stretchy neoprene does compensate for small variations. See if there's a Scubapro dealer near you where you can try one on.

Hello, great and informative video. Could you perhaps also make a video about the Mares Flexa 5/4 or comment your opinion on this wetsuit? Thank you very much!

@ScubaDiverMagazine 3 ай бұрын

I like the Flexa, it has lots of clever features. I've had Mares wetsuits before and they're well constructed

@whaleshark2625 3 ай бұрын

Is it any different in design/panel shapes compared to the previous regular neoprene Everflex?

@ScubaDiverMagazine 3 ай бұрын

Similar to the past one or two generations of the Everflex with that big chest and ab panel but, the zipper is straight down the back instead of diagonal.

@whaleshark2625 3 ай бұрын

@@ScubaDiverMagazine thanks Mark! It was a bit too tight in the chest for me versus the Henderson so I think I'll stick where I am.

The ratings must be off lol I’m in a 7mm semi dry in 75+ drysuit for anything colder

@ScubaDiverMagazine 3 ай бұрын

Yeah, I usually default to a drysuit in those temperatures.

#AskMark Can you do a review video on Halcyon BCD’s and/or alternative options? Have you already done a video like that?

@ScubaDiverMagazine 3 ай бұрын

Halcyon are a decent well-trusted brand, they can be expensive but, they do have excellent build-quality and materials. There are plenty of alternatives and similar buoyancy options out there.
