Diving Tips and Tricks: Pockets

Guy Shockey is back with more diving tips and tricks, but this time it applies to more than just cold water diving. In this month’s video he covers some tips for helpful things to keep in your wetnotes and to keep in your pockets. It just might save you from having to call a dive. Check it out and let us know what you keep in your pockets by sending an email or video to [email protected].

UPDATE: Guy saw the video and realized he misspoke. Wetnotes belong in the right pocket! We are all human. We’ve corrected the video as well.
