I have just had a neopreen seal fitted to my suit. Athough i can get the suit on it takes two people to extract me from it. Is there a trick to it or could someone let me know how they manage.  |

Always dive with 2 buddys?
Sorry not helpful... especially after you helped me out of Gavin's suit a few weeks ago!

I must confess to a certain amount of amusement at watching you extract youself from Gav's suit, however now i am in the same situation its not so funny.  As for M'Lord Reed's reply, only people who have experience of suits in the diving sport should comment. Your personal exploits with the rubber gimp suit and your serving wenches should not be aired on an open forum. ;D ;D. There's always space under the stairs for those who need a bit of humbling! Any further useful comments would be gratefully received. |

ah......you can't beat a good wench, well you can but the yelling gets in the way a bit. does this mean that Mistress Gillian has had a clear out under the stairs and made space for some new trainees?? how do she and Ms Fiona find the time? or is that what she gets up to when you are diving?  as for your neck seal--more lube! |

when i saw tom had replied, i was expecting the advice to be-
1) get a knife
2) no, a proper biggun
3) make sure it's sharp
4) that really doesn't look like a big enough knife you know
5) here, borrow my mighty blade, i call it Excalibur....
6) cut the neck seal to bits - d**n that feels so good......
;D

Lol! Ok Cowboy, here's a winter diving tip for you. On cold days warm your drysuit up by getting your butler to put it on and run the last few miles to the divesite in it. By the time he gets there your suit will be roasty-toasty warm. Of course, your butler may have passed out from heat exhaustion which may mean you'll have to pour your own tea!

true, I have been privledged with the honour of your drysuit - but I would never dare to presume that I could ever step into your shoes on such a regular basis - even if it is to perform such a menial task

your humbleness does you credit and will not go unrewarded - i'll get one of the staff to see to it .
and u got it off over your head without the aid of helpers - not neoprene though................in fact i should probably never get a neoprene seal unless the staff are coming to the divesite- id never get the bugger off!

Wouldn't going to a dive site seem like a lovely day out to the staff? That might give them ideas about how the outside world works. There could be mutiny understairs!
Back to the original question. Should my husband get lubed up so that he just slides in and out of said drysuit or should he just find something to widen his neck.

i find the idea of your husband getting lubed up slightly distrurbing at this time in the morning - what you get up to at home is your own business, but don't bring it to the seaside! perhaps a snugly fitting leatherene collar under the neoprene? or he could take up formula One racing - it apparently gives the drivers massive necks as they struggle against the Gforces - way he drives, you'd think he'd have one already............................  |

Surely the answer to tight neck seal isnt a thicker neck - its a pointier head. Simply wind a coil of wet rope tightly round your head and then allow it to dry overnight in a well ventilated room.
