OK, this is kind of a far out idea but, what about different colored bodysuits, or would that be too power ranger'ish? <p></p><i></i>

I use a diveskin for an undersuit. It was about $50. Make sure you get a SINGLE layer suit, not a lined suit. The lined suit will cook you in a matter of minutes. <br><br>I also have a lined suit and a 3mm neoprene suit at home. The lined suit was my trial suit but it was way to hot (plus it is all black with NEON pink racing stripes). The other suit is an O'Neil Animal that was a custom fit job from a few years back. This piece has rubber reinforcements at all stress points. I used it for my Borg suit a few years ago, all I needed was the face makeup and a few hoses here and there. Looked pretty good. <br><br>There are a couple of decent dive shops where you live Damien. Prospect dive and another one called Berry Scuba. It is east of Pat's Pizza on the same side of the street. It was a while ago but I think it is still there. <br><br>Later <br> <p>TK895</p><i>Edited by <A HREF=http://pub5.ezboard.com/utk895.showPubl ... e>TK895</A> at: 5/22/00 5:26:09 pm<br></i>

Yea, and I have hot pink fins and snorkle too. Wanna make something of it? You saw my truck!. I am totally secure in my manhood. <br><br>No, really it was for safety while diving. If you ever do any drift diving sometimes the guy on the boat gets lazy. That's when I just float on my back and stick my fins out of the water. He can't miss me. ;)<br><br>Some day this summer we should make a dive out in the lake. There are some great wrecks out there. <br><br>Later <br> <p>TK895</p><i></i>

Yes, it does take a secure Trooper to admit to that!<br>As for me, my tropical suit has lime green on it. (I'm more conservative with my cold water neoprene, ie; blues and reds).<br><br>Anytime you want to go diving, let me know!<br>There are a few wrecks up here, but none in good shape. Picked over by unscrupulous "treasure" divers. And now everything is covered with zebra mussels. Not too bad, yet, but getting there.<br>TK321<br> <br> <p></p><i></i>

so is there a dance suit that doesn't have that stupid low cut womans<br>neck line??<br><br>I looked at a few over lunch, but couldn't find anything.<br><br>they did have a bodysuit one with a zip up back and full neck like a turtleneck,<br>but not in black, it was also like a womans swimsuit, so you'd have to get some<br>pants to putover it....<br><br>back to the drawing board <p>~Joe Selle~<br>(joe.selle@mortgage.wellsfargo.com)<br><center><a href=http://pub23.ezboard.com/bpropreplicas><img height=99 width=360 src=http://www.geocities.com/bonofl/asapbanner.jpg border=0 alt=http://www.geocities.com/bonofl/asapban ... enter><img src=http://thematrix.acmecity.com/realworld ... </p><i></i>

They had one full on suit. Pants and long sleeves, but low cut neck. that was $32 i think,<br><br>then they had a tank top one that was pants and the ttop, that was $28.<br><br>But i found just some poly/spandex pants at Target the other day.<br>Not super shiny like spandex, but not cottony faded like black cotton either.<br>a nice happy medium.<br>they were on the clearance rack at Target stores. Made by Prospirit. and cost $9.00!!<br><br>Gotta find a top now, but i like the 2 piece rather than the 1 piece.( if you don't have<br>a zipper) make it easier to go, if ya know what i mean.? Lol.<br><br> also that one i found at this dance store with the Long sleeve and turtle neck had a zipper<br>in the back, from about half way up the back to the neck. Very cool and will work <br>perfectly with the pants.( but it has the swimsuit shape to it)<br> they only had blue and white as of now. black should be <br>comming in this week. cost was $25 for that top...( i think) <p>~Joe Selle~<br>(joe.selle@mortgage.wellsfargo.com)<br><center><a href=http://pub23.ezboard.com/bpropreplicas><img height=99 width=360 src=http://www.geocities.com/bonofl/asapbanner.jpg border=0 alt=http://www.geocities.com/bonofl/asapban ... enter><img src=http://thematrix.acmecity.com/realworld ... ><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub5.ezboard.com/ujobiwan.showPu ... jobiwan</A>  <IMG SRC=http://WWW.GEOCITIES.COM/Area51/Meteor/ ... eensab.gif BORDER=0 WIDTH=10 HEIGHT=10> at: 10/23/00 8:57:33 am<br></i>
