Wonder what this does to the value of my DC Z-Flex Cordura suit that is sitting in a Rubbermaid container in my garage?
The only box you have to think outside of is the one you build around yourself.

Rare is fine. That should drive up the price if I'm forced to part with the treasure.CaptnJack wrote:'Tis a rare and priceless heirloom now!ArcticDiver wrote:Wonder what this does to the value of my DC Z-Flex Cordura suit that is sitting in a Rubbermaid container in my garage?

Their dryglove system is what's going to be sorely missed. I wish I had bought a dozen sets before this- hopefully, someone picks up the patent and starts making them again.

Re: Anyone know whats up with Diving Concepts?
I don't think it was actually their glove system. Weren't they actually made by Skaana and just resold by DC, or was that the other way around?
No question in my mind that they are the best ring setup out there, regardless.

That's a good question. All I know for sure is that nobody can lay their hands on a pair right now.camerone wrote:I don't think it was actually their glove system. Weren't they actually made by Skaana and just resold by DC, or was that the other way around?

Sadly from what I can tell on their website Skaana is simply a middle man. http://www.skaana.comJoshua Smith wrote:That's a good question.

Thanks for the tip. I just ordered a new drysuit, and I *really* want to put DC rings on it.KneeDeep wrote:I know Silent World had a few sets... runJoshua Smith wrote:That's a good question.

Re: Anyone know whats up with Diving Concepts?
I am late to the thread. I just got news about DC from Waynne when we tried to get DC gloves for Jen. (I have a set, bought at Waynne's recommendation, and love them.)
But then I started thinking... if the o-ring in the system is not a standard size, you'd be in a pickle if you needed a replacement. I wonder if it is a standard?

You could always check Omni Packing and Seal Compan in Seattle. I got my DC O rings there for my spare DC gloves last year. Although, they mentioned, that they may not carry them anymore.Waynne Fowler wrote:I've got a few spares Matt. when Jen picks up her new suit I'll make sure you get a pair.... remind me though!Matt S. wrote:I am late to the thread.

When was the last time you did something for the first time?
Re: Anyone know whats up with Diving Concepts?
Didn't even know I needed them until I was doing gear maintenance this weekend, and wanted instant gratification.Waynne Fowler wrote:my pleasure brother.... wish I'da known you were looking for o ring man...

The Diving Concepts Dry Glove O-rings are standard sizes and are readily available. I get them in packs of 25, so have lots of extras. Feel free to send me an email or PM if you need O-rings.
Good Luck,
Re: Anyone know whats up with Diving Concepts?
Thanks for the info, Scott, that's good to know. I'll hit up Waynne since we'll be back in his shop soon anyway but it's good to have a backup too!
