Barbara Ann reef
Budget Boat Towing readies the barge to be sunk by cutting holes into her hull near the waterline with a torch. ( Heavy Metal is now sunk on the Townsends Inlet Reef. )

Funds used to clean, tow and sink the vessels were raised from proceeds of several functions and film shows sponsored by local dive shops, clubs, and individuals to support the New Jersey Reef Program. Named for Barbara Ann Nagiewicz.

Zippers, Seals, Valves & Maintenance

There's no doubt about it, drysuits require a great deal more maintenance than wetsuits. However, much of it is well within the capabilities of a home handyman with readily available materials and tools. The following guide should give some idea of what is involved in owning a drysuit, although there is no need for you to do these things yourself if you don't want to!

Zipper

The waterproof zipper of a drysuit is a really neat device. It is quite different from a normal clothing zipper, and exactly how it works is not obvious. Here are some close-ups of an old zipper that I cut up:
