Very good prestation. I am a instructor. And I must say. That was one of the best, informative prestation's I have seen. Keep up the great work.

[stephenwalters]

Yes ....I enjoyed it....learned a thing or two about DrySuits...😊😊

[Bladerunner]

Is this the guy that used to work in the shop? So glad to find this video, love this guy

[stewartmckenzie]

That was fantastic fundamental information!
Im just considering my first dry suit to get back in the water I grew up in, and your info really helped.
Thanks,
S

7:19 I would go the membrane drysuit for cold water. If only for not carrying so much lead. Thermal pants and top are relatively cheap. Beware the pinch. Easily replaceable silicon cuffs and neck are definitely a bonus.

THANK Mark I am so glad you are giving us more info please keep it up.

Get proper weighting with your drysuit and always control whenever you change any piece of gear. Unfortunately, I had a rapid ascent that sent me one week to the chamber. I made the mistake to rent a drysuit while my drysuit was sent to repair. I needed extra weight and well that wasn’t good. Cheers and safe diving 🤙🏾

[diveinstructordaniel]

Very informative as my drysuit arrives in a few days 😄

[ruben.escamilla]

Hi Mark, thank you for all your content. I have learned a lot from you.
My question is about the custom measurements. My body weight fluctuates from 10 to 25 lbs as I get older, especially in the midsection. How does the custom drysuit work in this situation?
Thanks for your help!

Really good video, we just did our Drysuit course..thinking about getting one now.

[FALCON-nbnq]

Very good information Mark. I don't dive drysuits but everything that can be learned related to diving is good. If I ever try to do it I will not start from zero. Thanks.

[JeremyUSA]

What about the option of socks of boots?

[sansuiso]

Thanks a lot for the videos! The insert video clips (like the talc ones) are very valuable.
Almost ready to join the TeamMembrane myself, planning a trip to the local dive center soon! Winter and fresh water are coming.

[ianbell]

Can neoprene be disinfected as well as a membrane suit?

[willsmooth]

JUST ORDERED THE DUI CORTEZ BEST PART IT COMES WITH LIME GREEN STITCHING 😂😂

[mustanggun]

"Claggy", I learned a new word Mark? LOL

[DianTomov_ST_Dupont_Lighters]

Can I use dry suit on snorkeling or with hookah?

[markgardner]

Great and timely Video Mark as I’m just trying to make up my mind what suit to buy what do you think of the waterproof hybrid know it’s a lot of money but don’t want to have to buy another one on a year because I tried to save money

[Mrln]

Great info as always Mark. I am at that point now of trying figure out which type i will buy for first drysuit, and keep going back and forth lol.
