Subject: RE: Drysuit management and weighting, let's try this again
Thanks George, C-4 sounds like the way to go. But I couldn't find it on the 
DUI website...do they have another name for it?
I have also been advised that it sells at around $800 dollars in Australia 
so I may have to improvise for a little longer! (And as usual I will tell 
my wife that it only cost $200 dollars!)
