Diving Safety – Never Breathhold without a Partner
May/100
Shallow Water Blackout is no joke. This is when a person loses conciousness in water, usually less than 15 ft. If alone the result is almost certain death.
There are also other safety tips that are crucially important. Please watch the following video for a sobering look at the importance of the freediving buddy system (or even having someone alert when practicing holding your breath in a pool or bathtub).

Customer Feedback on the Surf-fur
Jan/100
Here is a real e-mail from a customer. He is an ice diver…….now that looks cold!
These were his comments before trying the Surf-fur……
Hello Cynthia,
Just wanted to send you a quick note that I have received the Surf-Fur you sent me. My initial thoughts are very positive about it. One feature that really stands out for me is the hood. I like that it is so large. Cold water diving tends to give me headaches. During surface intervals, I try to keep my head as warm as possible to prevent this. Being able to comfortably use this hood is going to be a big benefit. Many jackets have a small hood that makes it uncomfortable to use, the Surf-Fur is not like that…
Thanks,
Mike
And after trying the Surf-fur…..
Cynthia,
We are getting close to Ice Diving time here in the Great Lakes. Yesterday, I did some quarry diving in Ohio. The air temperature was about 28 degrees F and the water temp was 42 degrees F. I was excited to take the Surf-Fur along and try it out as we were planning a couple dives. After the first dive, I was definitely chilled! I immediately put on the surf fur after getting out of the water. Its size and fit made it very easy to get on on even with frozen hands! I was very happy with how quick I was able to warm up and enjoy the surface interval even in the 28 degree weather. I expect this will be mandatory dive gear for my ice diving. Attached is a picture of the Surf-Fur during the surface interval. What a great product!
Hope you have a very Merry Christmas,
Mike
Another happy customer!
