Drysuit

[Derrick]

I've had the Diving Concepts Ultra Flex Pro for almost two years. It is a trilaminate. I think it is a great suit, very well made and would highly recommend it to anyone. I also use the DC drygloves and love them. The boots are nice and warm. A single pair of socks keep my feet toasty even in 34 degree water.

When I bought it, I didn't know squat about drysuits. I've made a couple of modifications and plan on adding 2 pockets and a p-value.

Initially I had problems with air trapped in the boots unless wearing ankle weights. Of course with ankle weights, it is harder to keep horizontal without finning. This winter I had boots two sizes smaller put on and now I don't need ankle weights.

My other mod was swapping out the CEJN connector for the industry standard DIN on the inflator value. I didn't realize that diving concepts shipped their drysuits with the CEJN connector as stardard unless the DIN connector is requested. I received the CEJN connector with an inflator hose but didn't realize until I purchased a backup hose that didn't work with the drysuit. It wasn't a problem until I recently started using argon. I couldn't find a local dive shop or one online that could sell me a 24" hose with a CEJN connector unless custom made. Diving Concepts recommend that I just swap out the connector. I did for about $5 at a LDS.
