Thanks very much for posting Alec! Glad you approve of the c-monsta!!!
No problem!

Thank-you Alec. It's a nice product, a little pricey, but I'd certainly give it a try. Hey, can I offer an above the water safety tip? Don't hang heavy stuff from your pipes, especially water or gas.
Did i say that? Not smart.
A
I love it, you are right this is the perfect gift. ❤
I like it, even Kevin has one for his huge wetsuits.
A
@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter there is just something very sad, you may can't buy it in Switzerland. 😢
Great video! That intro music is classic
Glad you like it. Kevin says it's called "London Bayou". He picked it as my intro music starting with series #4, or as he calls it when he learned to edit videos properly.

im still in search for my perfect hanger. keep it coming alec🤓
Will do.

Delrin is expensive too, more so than aluminum (maybe, been awhile since I’ve looked at prices)
It's light and strong enough to hold Kevin's wetsuit. HA HA.
A
@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter I'm sure it's strong enough for all my wet-suit gear as well including my wallet now that it's $100 lighter...HaHa
If you hang your wetsuit inside out first if i doesn't dry completely at least the part touching your skin when you put it on will be dry
Folding it inside out drys the side against your skin first, which is how I like my wetsuit to dry.

👍🤿😎🇵🇭! I like!
Thank you.

I was taught not to fold wetsuits because it causes a permanent crease along fold. Permanent creases have lost their nitrogen bubbles, and do not insulate as well (besides looking shabby).
For drying a wetsuit, this works fine, for long term storage like a year between dives, hang up or fold flat with nothing on top. It will last for many years with good care.
A
Perfect the Pee in the boots can now drip onto the suit.🤪
Of course, give your wetsuit that experienced diver smell, yuk.
A
I believe where there's the fold it won't really dry up that easily... nice to keep stuff together but for drying efficiency of the main suit, nope.
If its in the shade there may be a wet line at the fold but overall, dry is nice for these old bones.

hey i have just received a very old 1964 72 and its a very nice old tank i opened it up and it has a verry light surface rust on the inside do you think it is worth trying to save it.
Light inside surface rust should not be a problem if you want to dive it. Take it to your local dive shop for hydro and VIS. To see what it's like diving old 72's, watch my Vintage Scuba channel for Sea Hunt Forever vintage diving. Lots of divers still use 72's. Good luck.

thanks for the feedback. I received an entire vantage set but i will be upgrading the youke and using my modern regulators @@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter
I was wondering if it would be possible to create another channel for product promotions vs tech tips.
Or, at the very least, make it clear in the title that it's not a tip but a promotion for a product, regardless if it's a paid promotion or not.
Just mixing it up. If you read all the comments, divers want more/less/none of anything i talk about. Half my viewers are in North America and have access to lots if info and products, the other half are international and really appreciate new ideas they don't know about. Lots are dive operators, liveaboard crews, etc and email mail how glad they are to know about different things their clients probably know about. It's all for eduction so i'll keep it under the one channel for now. I review very few products each year but this was different and to me also useful. Thanks for the feedback and for watching.
A
@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter Maybe it's in my head but it just feel like the number of product reviews has increased drastically in recent past. I personally enjoyed the more technical approach of your past videos which made me follow your chanel and I'm always disapointed when I get a video that, to me, feels likes a paid promotion. But I understand that you have to do videos for a pleathora of people and I'm glad some people enjoy that kind of content. All the best to you.
Not available in Canada from their website.
Found it on Amazon.ca: www.amazon.ca/C-Monsta-Wetsuit-Effective-Versatile-Paddleboards/dp/B0BWFFSXCQ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=XVIDXY02TQCT&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.12L8eNjkX1zVbGiv99pJ1sxYnCB3QUQG5MqQsJDRkgzPWnYB2JYl1568cUu7EPd_FfiYGJBBQhmjDs2NTqrBpe_JlzSBAUzQJRopcSqFYcF2eXlV42BmwDh_-33znT7ZF9pBux1ALXBBXziSc2zMAdK_tpL_CEJEsQQaX94Sp0A.AJXss0eInn-oyKtSmxfBL4RtmXurBM_FInmv_wzyFWQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=c-monsta&qid=1708030630&sprefix=c-monsta%2Caps%2C99&sr=8-1&th=1

@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter Hi Alex, I saw that but the C-Monsta on their website is US$35. On Amazon it's $89.21 which is usury don't you think? Given the exchange rate, it should be closer to $50 or slightly less. I can't see paying over $100 including tax for a hanger.
@DarR1299 hey buddy, we tried shipping to Canada from our US warehouse but it was really expensive and we had issues so we have just left it up to Amazon to ship to you guys. It would be great to make these more affordably available to but it is just a small family company so I try to keep headaches to a minimum and to make sure that whatever we do, our service is good.
The Amazon price listed is just the US Amazon price plus shipping.
I hope that explains things.

@@markyeadon6636 Couldn't you pick a dealer as a Canadian distributor who can order 1000 units to cut down on shipping ?
I'm exaggerating the number of course but the principal is the same.
That would be ideal yes!
come on now Alec ... wash your wet suit with warm water and a little baby shampoo or that Expensive wet suit soap the shops sell - rinse it out good and now get ready to dry it out ! turn your wet suit inside out and do not fold it in 1/2 ! use a old wooden hanger and drape a old towel over it to hang it up
IF you really want to dry out your gloves and boots - buy a boot drier with 4 pegs to hang your gloves and boots on - first fold over the top 1/2's of the gloves and boots . ... the hood - make sure to turn it inside out before you hand it up . Now you have a clean n dry wet suit that doesn't smell like someone peed in it !
All good points but for most folks, they want one item to do it all without extra shopping or work. I built a dry suit stand with blower (see my video on that), but this is an all-in-one which i like.

@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter years ago I first bent up a few wire shirt hangers to hold my boots and my gloves and hood ! You also forgot to say ... its not very easy to put on a Wet wet suit = Yikes !
@@diverdave4056well thank you for explaining all that to him, in 50+ years of diving, being instructor and owning multiple dive stores, good thing that he had you to be smart in comments
The best tip I have ever had is to use a mouthwash with chlorhexidine to rinse boots and suit if they stink.
@@markyeadon6636 ....mmm very interesting ! I wonder IF the chemicals in the mouth wash might harm the boots ? the dive shops do sell a good product that will clean n freshen up a wet suit after you empty a bean burrito into it !
Why you eat your wetsuit 😅 hang in there 😅 😊
I'm just a crazy guy.
