Iam looking at a semi dry suit with an integrated hood. I have a short beard and my concern is the hood will not seal and allow water down in the suit at the chin area. Do you have any advice for that? Love your videos they have helped alot!
Thank you for mentioning the hood!!! 3mm neoprene on eBay = $10!
Hello my bro… You look young again… Hahaha.. Good info. Thanks bro…
Thank you for the advice. For the Full face mask, on mine, I live in the midwest and dive a cold water quarry year round, so I wear a hood, but I have a hard time getting a good seal. you mentioned a glideskin that the FFM can seal to, do you have a brand, or a link to said product so I can pick one up and see how well it works?
The very expected video eheh, thank you so much Bryan for the tips :P. By the way, are you married to my wife? XD 'cause she also doesn't like me to shave eheh, and I always have to think twice before shaving it, 'cause unfortunately mine takes agesss, allot of months to grow to my regular size, a grizzly short ZZ TOP and Paul Bunyan style.
I normally shave like i said, just my mustache till a mid a bit, to guarantee a proper fit seal. Also had to shorten my longggg hair cause it wasn't confortable wearing it under the hood.
Your diving mask is the MARES ULTRA LS X-Vision? how is it?
By the way, you said your masked fogged? Since i started diving that i treat my mask on the day before diving and I NEVER had a fogged mask ever, if you want you could try it for a while and see if it works for you, I don't use any of those special diving products.
What I do is, on the day before, on the morning, I get my mask, I spread dish detergent like FAIRY on the lens inside and out, get a small recipient and fill it with water and put some of the FAIRY on it, stir it a bit to dissolve it, and put the mask inside, leave it for the rest of the day inside and at the end of the afternoon or such, take it off and just leave it dripping, but don't touch the lens. Then just store it in a protective box or inside the fins foot to take it to the dive site, and before diving just dip it on the water and put on your face and you're good to go. Always works for me, and never everrr fogged with that.
Have a fantastic day Bryan.

Wipe some poo on your nose. It doesn’t stop it from leaking but it keeps you from breathing in and out of your nose which keeps your mask from fogging up.
Don't forget just some simple snot. Helps me when I don't shave before a dive
Great video thanks. A video on how to get a 7mm wetsuit or semi dry on easy would be awesome also. I'm sure a lot of guys could use some tips and tricks on that as well
