1. Use the lockwasher and you should encounter little problems.
2. Gator Wraps are nice if you have to swim a lot. Buy one size smaller then
you think you need. (I am Med. need Small)
3. Those liftbags work as advertised. Easy deployment.
4. Drill as many holes in your fins as you like. Some people like the water,
they use it ro rinse the soles of the booties after the dive, before putting
the booties/drysuit in the car.

Best,

THOMAS
