> Hi there guys and gals !
> 
> Well, firstly, thanx to everyone who sent me
> http://www.aquanaut.com/bin/mlist/aquanaut/techdiver ..... however, I'm
> afraid there's something wrong with that server. Nothing wants to connect to
> it !
> 
> Anyway, here is a few questions. If any of them has been covered in great
> detail recently, my apologies in advance. Shout at me gently ( grin ), and
> send me the relative archives !
> 
> 1) Drysuit: I'm about to embark on this expense, having been a happily
> semi-dry diver the past few years. Which way is the way to go... Neoprene or
> Membrane, and if neoprene, are we talking crushed or compressed ? Where
> should the dump-valve be located ? Pockets . should you have any, and where
> / what type should they be ?
> 2) Webbing/bladder. I've seen the pics online covering this aspect. One
> thing however raises its head. In the UK standard equipment ( in fact a must
> have on most dives ! ) are a reel and DSMB. Also I carry an EPIRB,
> net-cutter and emergency flag, all happily stowed in my current BC's
> pockets. Where on earth do you go with these ?
> 
> Thanks in advance for the help... and happy diving !
