What goes in the water with me

Santi Edge drysuit
DRYSUIT

Santi Edge

My primary drysuit for cold Polish waters. Trilam construction handles sub-5°C temperatures without compromising movement. The seal system is bomb-proof — critical when you're 30 metres down in a dark lake.

RANGE 2–20°C

CAMERA

GoPro Hero 12

Paired with the Oceanic+ underwater housing for 4K footage at depth. The wide-angle lens captures the full scale of what's down there — wrecks, nets, wildlife. HyperSmooth stabilisation means usable footage even with currents.

RESOLUTION 5.3K / 4K
HOUSING Oceanic+
DEPTH 60m

DIVE COMPUTER

Shearwater Teric

The best dive computer on the market — full colour AMOLED display, readable even in murky water. Bühlmann algorithm with gradient factors gives me precise decompression data. Wrist-mounted so I'm never reaching for a console mid-dive.

ALGORITHM Bühlmann
MAX DEPTH 200m

LIGHTS

BigBlue AL1800

1800 lumens cuts through even the darkest lake sediment. I run two — one primary, one backup. Polish freshwater visibility can drop to under a metre; these lights are the difference between finding something and missing it completely.

ACCESSORIES

Everything else in the kit

BCD

Apeks Black Ice

Back-inflate BCD designed for drysuit diving. Minimal drag in the water column.

REGULATOR

Apeks MTX-R

Cold-water regulator rated to -30°C. No free-flows even in near-freezing Polish rivers.

MASK

Mares X-VU

Ultra-wide field of view. Frameless design keeps peripheral vision open when scanning for objects on the bottom.

FINS

Mares Avanti Quattro+

Open-heel fins for drysuit boots. The channel-thrust blade is efficient over long distances.

KNIFE

Eezycut Trilobite

Hook-blade cutter for ghost nets. When you're tangled in monofilament 20m down, this saves lives.

LIFT BAG

Halcyon 50lb Lift Bag

For hauling heavy finds and waste bags to the surface. Essential for the cleanup missions.

I write detailed equipment reviews based on real-world use — not lab tests. Every item above has been taken on actual dives in Polish waters.
