Care and Maintenance - Wetsuits



i was browsing for new BCD when i came across this website. and i want to share this with you and for my own knowledge as well after my aqualung zuma kaput because i didn't take good care of it. i think now i have become a fan of aqualung.


The following Care and Maintenance information is provided for products that do not have a specific owner's manual and is intended as a general guide for basic care and maintenance of your Scuba Equipment.

Wetsuit Care and Maintenance

Materials:
There are several different types of materials used in wetsuits to achieve specific functions. It is helpful to better understand each of these materials in order to properly care for them.
  • Neoprene - Neoprene is the base material that virtually all wetsuits are made of. Neoprene is a type of rubber foam and is typically laminated with other materials depending on the desired function of the material.
  • Standard Nylon - A standard nylon outer lining is very durable against normal wear and tear. Normal care must be taken to prevent snagging, abrasion, and cuts.
  • Skin material - "skin" material may be used either inside our outside of your wetsuit and often around the wrists, ankles, and neck area. This material has a rubber like appearance either being smooth or textured, and is commonly referred to as "skin-in" or "skin-out". "Skin" neoprene material is typically used in areas where a water tight seal is desired or a benefit can be derived from it's water shedding properties. Some additional care is needed to prevent cutting, or abrasion of this material. Sharp fingernails may cut this material if care is not taken.
  • Thermo-skin - This material may be used inside of your wetsuit. Thermo-skin material has a silver-colored smooth skin type surface. This material has beneficial heat reflective properties and also provides a sealing surface similar to standard "skin" materials. Some additional care is needed to prevent cutting, or abrasion of this material. Sharp fingernails may cut this material if care is not taken.
  • X-Flex or Iso-Flex Neoprene - X-Flex and Iso-Flex neoprene are special materials designed specifically to have a much higher rate of stretch than conventional materials. Due primarily to the looser nit needed to achieve this high degree of stretch; these materials may be more prone to snagging. "Hook-and-loop" fasteners may also cause some light snagging and pilling of the material. Some additional care is needed to prevent excessive abrasion or snagging.
Care before the Dive:
  1. With any of the skin surfaces including Thermo-skin, care should be taken when donning the wetsuit to not snag the interior skin surfaces with a fingernail or toenail as this material can be cut. Avoid placing your wetsuit on or near any hot surfaces.
Care During the Dive:
  1. The exterior surface of your wetsuit is designed to withstand the normal wear and tear you might encounter during a normal dive. Abrasion against sharp rocks or other sharp objects can cut or puncture the exterior nylon surface so reasonable care should be taken to avoid these situations. Small cuts or tears can be easily repaired with wetsuit glue. Ask your dive professional for assistance.
Care After the Dive:
  1. When removing your wetsuit, first unzip all the zippers completely. Then remove one section at a time taking care to avoid puncturing any of skin surface panels with a fingernail.
Wetsuit Cleaning:
  1. Salt water and especially chlorine can "dry out" the neoprene material. When neoprene material "dries out" it looses it's flexibility. To ensure the wetsuit material retains it's flexibility for a extended period of time, it is important to thoroughly soak and rinse the wetsuit.
  2. Soak the wetsuit in a tub of warm fresh water (not over 120°F) for at least 15-20 minutes. [i need to keep this in mind]
  3. After soaking, thoroughly hose off the wetsuit with fresh water
  4. Place the suit on a thick hanger with all the zippers open to ensure maximum air circulation and complete drying.
Wetsuit Storage:
  1. Wetsuit material can develop a permanent crease if left folded for a extended period of time. It is best to store your wetsuit laying flat. If that is not possible, you can store your suit on a hanger. Use as thick a hanger as possible to better support the weight of the suit. The thicker the suit, the heavier, and therefore the thicker your hanger should be. There are several after-market hangers available designed specifically for this purpose.
  2. Store in a cool, dry and protected place out of direct sunlight.
  3. Do not store your wetsuit in garage if the garage is used to park a vehicle. The exhaust emissions from the vehicle can over time deteriorate the neoprene.
Wetsuit Zipper Care and Maintenance:
  1. Zippers are designed to be pulled closed or open in a straight line. Try to avoid pulling on the zipper pulls at an excessive angle to their intended path of travel. It is best to ask your dive buddy for zipper assistance in either opening or closing the back-zipper of a one piece back-zipped jumpsuit.
Chemicals/Solvents:
  1. Avoid any contact with oil, gasoline, aerosols, or chemical solvents.
  2. Do not expose any part to aerosol spray, as some aerosol propellants attack or degrade rubber and plastic materials.
  3. Do not use any type of alcohol, solvent or petroleum based substances to clean or lubricate any part.
  4. Do not store your equipment near any oil, gasoline, chemicals, or solvents.

my baby brown

got a call on tuesday evening and joey was at the clinic. asking me on the medical card. yes, being fully employed - this is what i like on the medical benefits. it covers out patient and cashless. he was having fever katanya.. sedangkan when he was at home on monday tu macam ok jer. his answer was, "coz i quit smoking" and that was the happiest moment as his mom. ngeee 😀 yup.. i am so relieved and grateful to Allah that he decided to quit smoking, and thanks to kaiser too for calming me down last year when i got to know that joey started smoking. one thing about kaiser, he is calmer than me in handling JoeLis.. but i guess more of joey coz somehow lisa chose to get disconnected although i know she will always be his princess.

anyway, i didnt know joey was on MC yesterday. i was really busy offlate at the office.. ni lagi2 bila nak cuti panjang.. time is so envious of me. semua aku nak cekau.. tangan dah macam tangan sotong. i want to get most of the work done so that i can go for hols in peace. tak mau fikir pasal kerja kat sana.. nak relax lepak2 jer. i keep on checking on him while i was at work. then bila tau he is on MC, he asked me camana nak balik.. hhehe.. so after work i fetched him lah kan.. sekarang kalau pergi cyberjaya tu dah boleh ingat la jalan dia once dah naik MEX insyaallah. jam memang teruk kalau dari office.. berjanggut jugak la sebelum masuk MEX tu.

we went to east coast for dinner. dah lama sangat tak pergi situ. and seperti biasa aku tewas dengan sup ekor kat situ. i tell you memang sedap. so if you guys nak rasa sup ekor pantai timur yang sedap, go to east coast cafe kat jalan bukit setiawangsa, taman setiawangsa, ok.

panas jugak badan baby brown ni.. hai laa adik, mama nak travel, adik demam pulak.. hopefully he recovers cepat lah. kalau tak, tak tenang mama nanti ni.

Power Bank & Traveling

do you realize that most of us just follow whatever people say without asking the reasons why. the way i bring up my children, there must be a reason behind every rules. mind you, this can be tricky while they were growing up coz then they keep on asking me 'why' and i must be ready for answers. i chose to be different in bringing up my kids compared to how i was brought up. of course my parents and i are in a different era. we always want to improve ourselves don't we? when i was a kid, i didn't like it when i asked questions and my mom would just shut me off with "just listen, follow and no questions! or, you will know when you are bigger" or "i am your mom just listen to me, or i am your mom and i know better" okay i think this posting has deviated ... hahahah 😁as always... anyway, i am posting this about power bank.

i was just thinking that this could be another 10 years challenge for me too! lol 😂
2009: a new beginning
10 years later
2019: also a new beginning for me

wow.. truly amazed with Allah's plan for His servants. met a few people in my life and 2018 was the fastest year for me as i met a few new people in my journey. who would have thought someone that i eyed and pushed away thinking *how can it be possible?* due to certain urmm differences... gaps, has now become someone special to me. 😀 despite me having a crush on someone, but in the end, someone else has become a priority.

when he asked the other day, "you noticed me?" and my answer was, "yes i did" just that at that point of time the reality still sinks in.. i am sure they are all young men. but that didn't stop me from watching him while he helped us around the vessel. at that point of time i thought this guy looks so kemas, tegap and smart. urmmm get the hint now? 🤣

we started to be close a month after that via whatsapp chat. i did made a detour on my way back from tioman with kate and at that time that he noticed that i did not even saved his number in my contact list! then, he did his special appearance joining my family for holiday. and the rest just fall into places... 

i know it is still messy and complicated for us - but that doesn't stop us from being happy to be with each other. i kind of find it funny on the day that he mentioned that he loves me. with him, i needed to be certain. i told him more than once that friends do not do what we do and how we express our feelings towards each other and how we care for each other. somehow or rather the feelings grow inside us towards each other. i keep on pushing how i truthfully feel for him and i keep on reminding myself of who i am in reality. 

whenever i reminded him of our real situation and gaps, he asked me back "don't we deserve to be happy despite our gaps & differences?" i wish i could share more but it is too personal to both of us and i would like to keep it that way. let all those sweetest happenings around us be kept between both of us and Him. coz sometimes we don't know people who reads or knows about other people's happiness might be happy for us or might envy us. *wink* 😉

i don't quite know how to write about what happened over the weekend but it was magical enough for me, for us, and i am grateful. if this is going to be forever, then please help us and guide through ya Allah.. and if it is temporary, please ease it for us. for now we are doing what is best for both of us. 

we don't know how long this will last
but we will make the best out of it/us
and enjoy each others company with love, respect and trust

thoughts

i am writing/typing this while waiting for my bosses to come back to the office for us to update something on our website. so, my exec and i have to wait. i am supposed to be on mc but looks like i am still here at this hour. i am ok to stay cuma takut orang infected by flu. so jangan salahkan sis. and i am feeling chilly sebab badan tengah tak sihat. 

someone contacted me few days ago that quite pissed me off. nak kata marah sangat - tapi sebab in my mind mentality dia dah macam tu, so malas nak layan. not to say that i am marah - it is more of insulted with his dirty thoughts and anggapan to divers. this posting might sound or to be read harsh but i believe, we learn everyday kan. ada je orang2 macam ni. this person i am talking about, i think salah sis jugak sebab giving him the chance to talk that way to me. hmm tak pe lah, nak cakap lebih2, nasi dah jadi bubur. whatever dia nak anggap, itu dia punya pasal. kadang2 orang yang suka menuduh ni sebab dia buat and tak nak rasa guilty sorang2. so dia carilah 'geng' 😏 kalau takat borak2 tu i am ok tapi bila dah merapu macam tu, sis diamkan je. malas nak layan orang otak kuning macam tu. 

actually i dont know where is this posting leading to. tapi i cannot stop thinking what he said. isshh bosan. korang je lah judge...

D: Halo
D: Mana tu?
Me: rumah my parents
D: Ada sapa masuk meminang ke
Me: hehehe
Me: ada ke?
D: From ur diving club ke
Me: 🤔 semua suami org
Me: 😂
D: Sedap tak
Me: apa yg sedap?
D:Hehe

kurang ajar kan? sis buat2 tak faham sebab kalau di layan makin menjadi...

on another note and pasal orang lain lah.. apa2 pun... i rindu u... hehehe 😋 kan best kalau ada orang kat rumah tunggu kita.. leh ngadu kat office tadi kerja macamana.. pastu leh sama2 makan malam.. or sama2 layan netflix sampai tertido. hik hik 😂 tapi sekarang semua tu angan2 je lah. tak tau la sampai bila sis boleh berangan. doa je lah yang  baik2 ya.. it is all up to him & Him.

love him so much

tak terfikir that one day i will be a mom. simply because i was a tomboy during my younger days. time tu memang la tak terfikir nak kawin pun.

but now i am so happy with my 2 wonderful kids. dari diorang kecik sampailah sekarang masing2 dah kat universiti and tak menyusahkan aku as a mom. hmmm macam tak percaya je kan.. cepat betul masa berlalu. aku rindu jugak zaman diorang kanak2.. zaman aku boleh peluk and cium bila2 masa. sekarang aku seronok borak pasal benda2 yg about life dengan diorang.. macam2 lah coz aku dengan anak2 memang open although.. ada lah benda2 yang aku tak suka and i know they wont open up to me about it. yes i know ok 😉

anyway aku cuma nak cerita this weekend memang dah arrange activities for joey. he did his pre-test for driving today. kesian dia 1 full day kat imkeda cheras. lembab betul. by the time he got back dah keletihan. sampai tak de mood nak makan sushi dengan aku. akhirnya aku tapau je laksa pahang dari rumah my parents. 

ceritera start just after he finishes his dinner. aku nak practise lagu zumba.. tapi tiba2 terfikir.. ala aku dah mandi and dah pakai baju tido.. kang peluh2 kena mandi balik.. terus malas. pastu teringat nak ajak joey practise sama2..

me: joey jom practise 1 lagu dengan mama.
joey: aarghh tanak
me: jom la.. alaa lagu tu steps dia macho
joey: tanak la maa
me: hehehe 😁 jom la adik.. lagu taki taki.. sure adik tau
joey: tak tau... **sambil senyum2**
me: alaa jom la.. tu steps lelaki lah
joey: hmm ajak lah AH!
me: ehh apsal ajak dia pulak?
joey: dia kan lelaki.. kata lagu steps lelaki

🙄🙄 ishh kalau anak dah bijak sangat ni pun susah jugak. i will leave the details of conversation between us 😂🤣

few minutes later he entered my room and asked me if i can send him back to his college tomorrow. then i remembered my luggage bag is in his room. suddenly he ran out of my room and want to stop me from entering his room 😂 kelakar la adik ni.. we both were pushing each other macam training rugby.. tau la dia join rugby dulu! keras betul badan dia dah macam tolak besi aku rasa.. dia kalah bila aku geletek pinggang dia.. hahhaha 😂😂 sebab joey ni penggeli orangnya.

jom kurus

sis nekad... i have 2 weeks to go.. i just need to lose 4kg.. so last wednesday while i was browsing the ig, i looked at fasha sanda's ig. memang dia dah kurus. tanpa lengah sis pun whatspp the number that she put in her ig and asked for COD. nampak tak betapa gigih nya sis. so, in summary, i started drinking it yesterday. suka la pulak taste dia sebab macam teh tarik - untuk aku yang hantu teh tarik nih. 

i was not hungry, i ate what i wanna eat to fill in my tummy. tak de la craving gila2 nak melantak macam selalu. memang terus potong nafsu nak makan. cuma ada downside.. tak leh la makan sikit sangat pun.. nanti jadi 'the bone'... 😁

nak type what i had semalam macam malas pulak.. you all tengok je la yang sis update kat fitness pal ni eh. but just because i dont eat enough... they wont calculate how much i will lose... adehhh






maldives here i come

the destination that i have always been thinking of since years ago. during the earlier years, i would think, can i afford to go there? but after many years later... when at least i can afford to go there,  next question came up was, whom do i go there with? will someone bring me there for honeymoon? perrghhh.. berangann tahap dewa! but, people say berangan tu free. well, that angan2 did not come fully true though. it comes true just not the whole of to the level of honeymoon lah kan... hik hik hik 😂 maybe even better for me at the moment. i will be going there for my diving trip with a group of fun people i knew during the Tenggol trip. 3 jejaka ganteng... hehehehe 😂 i think i will have fun over there ngeeeee... 😂nampak tak sengih dah sampai ke telinga tu? 

am i scared? well, it is more of nervous. so this weekend while i planned for refresher course for joey, i am taking the opportunity to get comfortable with SA's BCD that i borrow for the trip.. (yeah, mine kaput already). and also just needs more practice. 

by now the Maldives Group Chat dah start sharing pictures and discuss on certain things about the trip. buat masa ni aku lebih suka mendiamkan diri... perghhh drama sangat... and just watch the group or the members of the group. aku baru nak warm up engine kut. we do have another Maldives Group Chat created by TK but yang tu pun kadang2 je aku bersuara.

so next is for me to prepare all the medication needed. mana la tau kan.. aku punya anxiety attack datang kang.. naya pulak.. and ubat mabuk pun kena ada. 8 hari atas kapal kut.. and this is my first time. suspen and excited at the same time. apa2 pun, aku akan bawak lappy aku, untuk aku blogging. kalau tak de internet you all kena sabar je lah ye. maybe aku akan sediakan scheduled posting untuk you all punya reading pleasure.

will there be another interesting story while i am there like tenggol here i come? i dont know.. hehehe 😂 kang korang kutuk aku pulak kata aku gatal. hik hik.. 😂 okay lah... korang layan dulu gambar2 yang ada ni. ini pun divers dari chat group yang hantar and share. gambar yang sebenar kena la tunggu sis dah sampai situ and ambik gambar nanti ye.

yang ni aku cilok kat internet.

are you happy

confession: i have pending postings. time is so jealous of me. mood is running up and down - thanks to pms. 

i am being condemned for being what/who i am - as in for being expressive about my own feelings. perhaps for being happy with people who do not meet their criteria. but do these people matter? what they think of me? and their criteria in my life? i can accept opinions but how you say it seems like it is more of dissatisfaction from your side then trying to make me see what i may not be able to see. 

copy paste from my pending posting: "before u continue reading this posting, let me warn you that at this point of time, i am having this mixed feelings about what i am feeling and what i am trying to express. 

i am not sure if i am angry - coz i did laughed out loud about it. some people like to judge about other people, full stop. they think they know everything about me or how i am feeling just because i can get excited. i am an expressive person. maybe i changed throughout the years. no one stays the same after many many years right? they grow to be someone else - just that whether they turn to be a better person, or not". 

current: for the record, i am aware of what is going on, just that i honestly do not know yet where this is heading. as much as he said i make him happy and he makes me happy and somewhat almost complete. and my doa that i ask continuously from Him... if he is the one for me, please make it easier for me, for us. and if he is not the one for me, please distance us from each other - and make these feelings go away.

Felicya Angellista - Sandiwara Cinta (Cover Repvblik)



Aku tahu ini semua tak adilAku tahu ini sudah terjadiMau bilang apa aku pun tak sanggupAir mata pun tak lagi mau menetes
Alasannya seringkali ku dengarAlasannya seringkali kau ucapKau dengannya seakan ku tak tahuSandiwara apa yang telah kau lakukan kepadaku
Jujurlah sayang aku tak mengapaBiar semua jelas telah berbedaJika nanti aku yang harus pergiKu terima walau sakit hati
Mungkin ini jalan yang engkau mauMungkin ini jalan yang kau inginkanKau dengannya seakan ku tak tahuSandiwara apa, ceritanya apa, aku tahu
Jujurlah sayang aku tak mengapaBiar semua jelas telah berbedaJika nanti aku yang harus pergiKu terima walau sakit hati
Jujurlah sayang aku tak mengapaBiar semua jelas telah berbedaJika nanti aku yang harus pergiKu terima walau sakit hatiKu terima walau sakit hati
tengah mode sebak... benci aarrr... hahahah 😂

beautiful ending of 2018

actually i have a few postings that are due. just that it doesn't go with the mood that i am in right now. AH makes me so happy for the past few days. somehow he got his time off again over the long weekend and he has included me in his schedule, to be with me towards end of his leave. so yeah.. am one of those lucky person, i guess. although am sure i am not the only person in his schedule 😋

alhamdulillah sri ayu has got a 1 year contract tenant starting 1st jan 2019. just that i need to take out some of the furniture because tenant do not want them in there. and by AH being around, he is one of the victim to help me out carrying the heavy stuff our of Sri Ayu. sian dia.. tapi ok lah kan.. cuti2 buat ibadah sket.. heheheh😅 tettt lepas tu boleh la belanja makan... video kat atas tu masa AH tolong2 angkat dari Sri Ayu and bring to a few locations.
and this year kiranya 31 Dec 2018, i celebrated new year at Charmene's Cafe - SatayXpress, Valencia Golf Club. you guys should go there and try the food. am not sure about the ala carte though.. but the buffet that night was just superb. and thank you to AH for accompanying me during this year's celebration. aku rasa kalau AH tak turun/naik KL, i will be lepakking at home, mereput.. boring jugak. so by 6pm kut kitorang dah kena settle and get ready... penatnya aku.. Tuhan je tau. tapi i wanna use every second that i have with AH and not waste it. entah lah, somehow aku terasa lepas ni maybe aku dah tak boleh serapat macamana aku dengan AH sekarang. when you guys read this posting memang la rasa macam sedih bunyinya but reality sucks at times. aku kena berpijak di bumi nyata. sekarang ni pun aku dah down, ni pun sebab lepas aku dah sort of confront AH pasal a few things yang bothers me. sebelum ni aku hidup ala ala dalam alam khayalan. things that i forgot and i thought i could have in my life although in order for me to not be selfish i should tarik diri... ha macam tu lah lebih kurang sebab aku tau kedudukan aku, where i am, who i am and etc etc. ke aku ni cepat cair? hahaha 😂busdus... dah korang jangan gelakkan aku... kalau ikut bahasa lisa, aku dah rabak ni... jadi sekarang semua tak de mood. benci la rasa macam ni. ehhh macam tak kena je dengan tajuk blog posting aku ni... dah katanya beautiful ending?

memang la beautiful ending.. aku suka hang out dengan AH, entah la.. nak kata kenal lama pun tak but he is such a simple and easy going person. and aku rasa relax dengan dia.. and dia pun masih single (kata dia, kalau dia sebenarnya tak, bukan salah aku ehh) aku rasa macam dia ada je solution untuk aku kalau aku serabut.. cuma kadang2 memang la aku rasa dia macam hadir tapi his mind is elsewhere.. entah2 ingat kat awek kut... 👀😋 tapi aku buat tak tau je la kan.. takkan aku nak tanya kut.. nampak sangat busybody nya.. walaupun jiwa aku kadang meronta jugak lah. kekeke 😂over aku ni kan kadang2... but biasa la.. kena la ada drama sket dalam hidup.

aku sampai kat Valencia and lepak with my school friends.. bukan plan pun but kebetulan memang diorang pun nak lepak situ.. and AH memang selamba.. dia ni jenis yang boleh bawak je ke mana, and dia selamba je and pandai bawak diri.. sob sob... kenapa aku pilu tiba2 ni?? adehh menci aaarr..  aku rasa kalau satu hari AH tak de dah dengan aku, rasa kehilangan jugak. alaaa sekarang dah sedey... tak leh sambung dah blogging...
