Hi everyone
Just wanted to thank everyone for all their advice on Dry Gloves. I
ended up going with the BluePoint/Diving Concepts gloves. I spent last
week diving with them, and loved them. I installed them with seals
inside, and used some old IV tubing to allow equalization. On one dive,
my IV tube got stuffed too far down during gearing up. On the way down
I started to get the "claw" from squeeze (dive was to 210 ft). I
managed to overcome this by grabbing on to the ring and wiggling it,
allowing some air to flow through the wrist seal into the glove. On the
ascent though, the glove began to balloon as the gas couldn't escape. I
put up with it until my 30 foot stop, at which point I could hardly
manipulate any clips with my inflated glove. I simply pulled the glove
off, allowing it to fill with water, then put it back on. Once this was
done, my hand was nice and warm (they make great wet gloves, no water
transfer at all!), and the half hour or so left in my deco was
uneventful.
Again, thanks for all the advice!
Ben
