A few years back when i was living in halls I hung my suit drying in the shower, about 2am one of the girls went in to the bathroom and came out screaming, woke the whole block up, I was not very popular!

I see what you mean about your hose is too long, definitely a snagging hazzard. Suit looks great though.

Only the 'colourful' would exclude you though

See if you can get the existing one altered.

It's possible to have a wedge cut out of a neoprene neck seal to make it a bit tighter. Shouldn't cost too much and it's a lot cheaper than a new seal.

As far as drysuits go - it's pretty damn sexy tho!

Whats the best way to sore it.
In the bag or on a hanger...?

I was told to hang my 0Three:-

1. Hand the suit with the zipper closed
2. Whilst hanging, ensure that the boots just touch the floor - this helps to take the weight of the boots annd some of the suit off the shoulders as you hang it. With the boots touching the floor, make sure that there are no "hard" creases in the neoprean as this will ruin it (gentle ones are ok).

I have a pully system in the garage to help me get the correct length (fnar fnar )

You can shorten the existing inflator hose. You need this part A.P.Valves

All you need is 2 spanners and a knife. Cut the hose down to size and then stick the new bit on. I can't remember if inflator hoses are 3/8 but if not, then you can change the other end with this fitting instead:

A.P.Valves

they are about £10 each, so cheaper than a new hose. . . .

if i built it, it wouldn't work.

Blimey. That's the first person I've ever seen who looks attractive in a dive hood!

Well done!
