Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! While I have a lot of fun with follow downs, the light is for my ease of mind as much as it is for the video quality.

Totally! I am fortunate to have some amazing dive buddies!

Yes you can, if that works for you! With thinner suits this is definitely a good option, but with thicker suits and deeper dives it helps equalization and prevents ear injury. I know divers that can dive without holes no problem, but others like myself have to let water in at the surface and at depth. I find letting water in at depth to be shocking, so I prefer holes in my suits!

Yes I have done it on all of my suits. With open cell suits it's actually easier because the nylon burns differently. If you are nervous you could start with a thinner nails and that will create a smaller hole

@@Janastrain I think my big worry is that if I stretch the hood, for example when putting to on, are the holes a weak point for the suit to tear.

​@@LaLtheGaL ​@LaLtheGaL the holes are very small, in comparison to the structure of the suit. This is one of the reasons that you don't put a hole on a seam. I have never had a suit rip from them. What can happen, is if you have nylon on the suit it can create a run. If you use a very hot nail though this usually does not happen.

@@LaLtheGaL I thread a bit of string around my ears and out the side of my hood. That allows water in without poking a hole in my suit. If I forget the string I just grab a bit of vegetation and do the same thing. Not that I am adverse to poking a hole but it wasn't needed in the past with Rubatex suits so I'm not use to it.

Glad you liked it!

I did! The heat molding is great. I also make sure to wear my fins on the same feet every time :)

I have heard a lot of good things about the Garmin Descent, although I have not dove with it myself. Definitely a word of caution though for new people, if you invest in gear like that, it's best to not focus on it during your actual dive session. When people are new it's really important for them to focus on the sensations in their body and to enjoy the dive. They can be great to go through the data afterwards though!

@@Janastrain Thanks for the info!

I use the Atmos Mission 2 and it does heart rate measurements (and a lot cheaper than Garmin). However, keep in mind, the watch has to be next to your bare skin, so maybe not the most practical for us Canadian freedivers who wear 7mm suits and gloves. :)

@@LaLtheGaL Thanks, I'd been wondering about it. Do you ever look at your heart rate data from a dive and see anything interesting?

@@emeraldsky8009 I JUST got the watch a week ago and have only used it in pool once.
