Dryrobe® - Waterproof changing robe

Dryrobe® - Waterproof changing robe

This January I was so excited to get to start diving in the French Riviera in Villefranche sur Mer again, however I had a creeping problem - how will I ever get used to the Med winter again after two years spent in Dahab, Egypt? I am not so fussy about cold water being at 13 degrees, after all I have 2 World Records for diving at -7 degrees in Lake Garda with my 3mm wetsuit.. But would I be able to bear the cold wind on a winter boat?

Review of Zulupack - the best freediving dry bags

Review of Zulupack - the best freediving dry bags

I have spent a whole year looking for the best freediving dry bags and backpacks.

Finally in July 2022 when training in Nice I came across Zulupack. 

Their dry bags first stand out for their sleek design, but as my collaboration with Zulupack kicked off and I could finally put my hands on a range of bags, the quality really made an impression.
