Hello All,
Just wanted to bring up a new piece of dive equipment that is soon to be 
offered to the diving community. This weekend I got the first chance to test 
out a new underwear that is electrically heated! It is being marketed through 
DUI and I have to say it has some great possibilities. It is the same 
material as a skin but has 5 heating elements. 2 heaters on calf's , 2 
heaters on the forearms and one large heating element near the lower back. 
The 5 heating elements are attached to a brain box that regulates the 5 
elements individually (which is programmable). From the box it has a wet 
connection to the dry suit, on the drysuit there is an external wet 
connection that goes to a battery hook up. On the drysuit there is an on off 
turn switch which is nice. I took it for a test dive in 50 degree water and 
it was quite comfortable and warm. There is a lot more about the suit 
function and specs that this e-mail doesn't cover which may be best described 
by the DUI rep. I just wanted to say it will make these very long deco's a 
piece of cake!
