I was extremely reluctant to get a drysuit, as I've always had issues with latex rubber gloves. If I put on latex gloves, my hands turn red and skin gets itchy, and worse. So, when I got my first drysuit, I was planning on replacing the wrist gaskets, but miraculously, the latex wrist gaskets on my Kokatat (semi)drysuit don't seem to bother my skin.

Anyways, are there silicone rubber wrist gaskets? I seem to recall seeing some when I was thinking that I'd need to replace my wrist gaskets.

Yes, there are silicon wrist gaskets.
I am not experienced.

This was what Kokatat recommended;

Thank you for your interest in Kokatat.
Our semi dry Supernova Angler Suit does not have a latex neck gasket but is does have latex wrist gaskets. While Kokatat does not have alternative materials for our gaskets there are 3rd party latex alternatives on the market that can be used in DIY replacement applications.

Thanks Paul for the info!
 So waypoint #63 would be at what depth?

Thanks. Scotty

Waypoints are location coordinates, not based on depth.
CDFW established boundaries for enforcement like other protected areas.

Thank you, AlsHobieOutback

Great work again converting to Navionics GPX file. 
I was able to import the 20F line into my Navionics app.

Thank you Paul

You are very welcome.
I don't want anyone to get a citation.

What are there rules for party boats for a descending device ?
Another question:  if your on a party boat and you have caught your limit do you have to stop fishing ? My son said they move fish from your bag to others who have not caught limits and every one keeps fishing ?

I picked up one of these descenders from Amazon. Makes it easy to release them at the right depths. Just set the depth you want them to be released at and then drop it down.

Dang that’s nice.  I have one of those grippers.  Mod life?  I wonder if there are any government funds to subsidize that purchase.

Hi Eddie

I know that CDFW distributed descenders for free previously, and I discussed with CDFW staff to get some for our group, but they stated that they don't have any funding for the program.
Hopefully, we can get some later.
