Undergarment

The unit I had, made by a company called Repetative Diver, didn't have an option of not using the thermostat.

I like the idea of hanging the battery at your deco stop. We used to do somthing similar to this back in the days of Canadian Navy tables, instead of deep stops. I would hang my argon bottle at 20', where the 02 hooka regs were stationed, and even have some extra weights waiting there that I could clip onto my harness. When I got to the 20' stop, the longest since I did all the hanging at 20' and none at 10', I would clip those extra weights on myslef and really pump up my suit with the argon to make the long hangs more enjoyable.

Of course, now with deep stops, and gas deco tables, my whole deco time is shorter than my 20' air stops where back then. ;D

Another neat toy I saw that greg Zambeck had made was a portable water heater that he would drag out onto the ice when doing his 300' ice dives up in Wazze. He had 300' of garden hose pumping 150 degree water down to him. If a reg would start to freeze he could just flush it with hot water while at depth. If his hands got cold he could just puth them under the hose and the warm water would heat them up right through the dry gloves. The heater assembely was pretty big, but still a cool set-up for some extreme ice dives. I think I have a picture of it around here somewhere. ???
