Use one of these 2 methods to never have to deal with annoying fogging issues again! 🤿

Still keep in mind to spit into your mask (or use antifog) to reduce fogging even more.

Wanting to get into hand harvesting but don’t know how to handle a crab? Well this Top Tip Tuesday shows you how to properly hold one without fear of getting pinched!

Always make sure to check minimum size requirements of your desired catch, diving with a crab ruler is recommended!

Knowing exactly how much weight to buy can be a daunting and confusing experience. Ultimately, it is highly subjective and influenced by many different factors.

We always recommend to weigh yourself conservatively to start and slowly adding lead until optimal weighting is achieved. A surface exhale float test will confirm when this happens. Positive buoyancy at the surface is necessary so that you can fully relax before a dive and will not sink if fatigued or injured.

Happy Diving!

🤿 Top Tip Tuesday: neoprene repair

Whether it was your teeth, nails or a surly sea lion, wetsuit tears have happened to the best of us. A little bit of contact cement goes a long way and can turn a leaky tear into a near invisible memory.

(Best used in a well ventilated room or outside. Those fumes can hit pretty hard 😵‍💫)

Have you had to repair your suit before?

🤿 TOP TIP TUESDAY: Snorkel placement
If you’re struggling with water constantly getting into your snorkel, a simple adjustment may be all it takes to fix this. Check that your snorkel and mask strap position don’t submerge the snorkel tip as you swim!
