  • 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.

  • Dive Knives

    Dive Knives

    Knives are essential tools for every diver. Use your knife to cut away from entanglements, to examine under rocks, and to bang on your tank to get your buddy’s attention. Mount knife on your B.C. vest or leg for easy access.
  • Wetsuit Storage Tip

    Wetsuit Storage Tip

    Standard clothes hangers cause extra strain to your suit’s shoulders, leading to stretching and cracking. Use a flexible, padded Flex Fashion™ Wet Suit Hanger instead. The Flex Fashion Wet Suit Hanger can be molded to accommodate any suit shape. Store your suit and all dive gear in a cool, dry closet away from direct heat or sunlight, to prevent premature aging. If you must store dive gear in the garage, use air and light tight containers to protect from exhaust fumes, temperature extremes and moisture. Leave your suit’s zipper open during storage to eliminate strain on the sealing elements.
