      Battle Sea Sickness

      Triptone®, an over-the-counter dimenhydrinate formula, and Wave Bands™ acupressure wrist bands are two safe and easy ways to prevent and alleviate motion sickness.

    • Sea Sickness

      • Eat lightly and avoid alcohol while traveling or boating.
      • If nausea or dizziness set-in while aboard a boat or plane, move to the center where it is usually more stable.
      • Put your eyes and inner ear in sync: move to the top deck of a boat or ship and look out at the horizon.

  • Reduce Fin Buoyancy

    Reduce Fin Buoyancy

    A diver’s gear (wet suit, fins, B.C., tank, weights and regulator) can weigh anywhere from 40 to 70 pounds. The bulk of this weight is in the middle of your body – while over half of your buoyancy is below the waist. Reduce leg and fin buoyancy and alleviate back stress by wearing Durward Ankl Weights™.
  • Mask Tip

    Mask Tip

    Mask fogging results from warm humid air inside the mask meeting a lens surface cooled by water. Warmer air is capable of holding more water vapor (water in gas form) than cooler air. Therefore, when air is cooled, a portion of its water vapor condenses into tiny liquid droplets, or “fog”. McNett® Anti-Fogs prevent fogging by creating a thin, invisible film on the lens which creates a “sheeting effect” - eliminating the formation of condensation droplets.
