Wetsuits!

   Posted by: Heze    in Bali

Our custom wetsuits finally arrived this morning, only half a day late. We’re not diving today, we weren’t yesterday, so no damage from the delay. And I’ve declared myself a stress-free zone in here anyway.

So, here’s what we got:

That’s mine…

…and this is Eeva’s. Note the slate pocket on the right thigh.

And all this for 700 US dollars. Assuming these last five years, that’s 20 cents per head per day. Just in case you wanted to know.

New toys!

   Posted by: Heze    in Bali

We got our new gear out of the plastic bags today and boy was it fun! The stuff is pretty ligtweight, looks brilliant and seems to work very well in water also. We tried them out in the pool immediately after unwrapping it all, so we have the initial experience already under our weight belts. Mine is all black and red, Eeva’s is blue and black:

Of course we ran out of batteries while taking the photos, but I guess we’ll have a chance to take some more in the near future. I have to exchange my fins to a different model since the ones I got don’t fit properly, but otherwise all seems to be well. More diving to come tomorrow, so we’ll see how they perform in actual open water.

Reports will follow.
