In this video I’ll show you how I take off my vintage scuba diving thick rubber men’s wetsuit after a dive. In the beginning of the video I’m shown standing in my thick rubber wetsuit in full scuba diving gear breathing the compressed air from my 80 cubic foot aluminum tank on my back. The undressing begins with me closing the surface breathing gill on the mask so I use the air from the tank. I take off my Scubapro fins and then I remove my knives and ankle weights. I loosen the adjustment straps on my BCD and I undo the velcro cummerbund around my waist. I take the Interspiro mask off of my smooth rubber hood and then remove the US Divers Cousteau BCD from my back and set it onto the floor. The vintage lead weight belt comes off and then I remove the smooth rubber wetsuit booties from each foot. The smooth rubber scuba diving vintage beavertail wetsuit jacket is unsnapped from between my legs and I remove the jacket. I undo the velcro strap on the smooth rubber vintage scuba diving wetsuit farmer john and I slide the straps off my shoulders and pull the wetsuit down to my ankles and finally off of my bare feet. I remove the smooth and thick rubber wetsuit hood from my face and I’m left standing in my U.S. Divers lycra diveskin. Watch my other videos to see me getting dressed into other suits.

Truly a smart design and with the ability to adjust the blade to various stiffness and shape on the fly – puts it in a class of its own.

Enjoy this video as we salute all of the free swimming Marine Mammals of the world.
