    • Packing Light

      • The amount of stuff you think you need is directly related to the size of your luggage. Get a smaller bag and you’ll make do with fewer things.

      • There’s really no difference between packing for a week and packing for a month or longer.

      • If you think something might come in handy, leave it at home. If you know you can’t get along without it, bring it.

      • Limit yourself to one pair of shoes, or, at most, one pair of shoes and one pair of sandals or flip-flops.

      • Don’t fret if it turns out you really did need that extra sweater, or if you run out of toothpaste. Wherever you’re going, they have these things for sale.

      • Downsize toiletries. Pick up travel-size versions of your favorite products whenever you see them, not just when you're getting ready to travel. If you can't find miniatures, buy small plastic bottles and decant from larger products.

      • Wear your heaviest shoes, sweater, and jacket. That way, you don't have to pack them.

  • 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.
