Sharkskin Saltwater Line

Dive Diva's everywhere have questioned how to tame their wild tresses. While we know that we aren't going to look like the Sports Illustrated models after a dive, we certainly shouldn't surrender to a shaved head either. Saltwater wreaks havoc on our hair leaving a salt residue that depletes the hair of it's natural moisture. Add blowing wind into the equation and the result is split ends and brittle hair that feels like straw.
Hair care for Girl Divers is three fold. You must treat your hair before you subject it to the elements, manage your hair during the dives, and restore your hair after the dives. Chlorine and saltwater can discolor and dry out the hairs cuticle. Before diving, wet down hair with cool tap water, which will seal the cuticle. Hair is like a sponge; it can only absorb so much water. If it's wet to begin with, it won't absorb as much damaging chlorine and saltwater.
Swear by leave-in conditioner and never leave for the dive without it. Protecting skin with sunscreen is good sense, and the same goes for hair. If you can find a conditioner with a sunscreen in it, all the better, as the UV rays will turn your hair a brassy shade. Also, using some hair creme or pomade as a conditioning barrier will reduce the amount of salt that can adhere to the hair follicles.
During the dive, if you have long hair, you'll want to secure it before pulling and tugging on your neoprene hood. Putting hair into a braid or a series of pony holders keeps hair from becoming caught in the hood. Using the conditioner before braiding, will help to hold the braid in place. You may want to wear a lycra "doo rag" over your hair before putting on your hood. Alternatively, a "shark skin" or "titanium" lining in the hood will also ease with removal of the hood off at the end of your dive.
If you're diving a tropical destination, you may consider a beanie for night dives (as this will not only tame your tresses but avoid getting blood worms tangling in your locks). For day use, a "slap strap", available at most dive stores will keep the mask strap from catching on your hair.
We are told to rinse our gear thoroughly after a dive, but any good Girl Diver knows, that beauty comes before gear rinsing. As soon as possible, rinse out your hair with fresh water. You may find a fresh water shower on the boat or at the dive site. There are also a myriad of shampoos made to remove harsh elements from your hair at your local salon.
Put a wide-toothed comb in your Save-A-Dive kit, so that you can get through those tangles on your way to the pizza place. Again, if you've got some spray in conditioner with you, now would be a great time to add another round to the hair, as it's just been through the dehydration routine. Keep your hair trimmed of split ends and use a clarifying shampoo weekly to keep your hair looking great.
Even the divas of diving have to treat their locks. "I'm not very good with my hair and don't think about it much," Tanya Streeter said from her home in Austin, Texas. "When I know I'm going to be in the water, I just coat it with a ton of conditioner, braid it, and wear it down my wet suit."

Shimano TEK600LC Tekota Saltwater Line Casting Reel $350.98 ARB Bearings: Stainless steel ball bearings that have been through the ARB treatment process which makes them at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings. Super Stopper: Super Stopper uses a oneway stainless steel roller bearing that eliminates backplay. This provides the angler with instant hooksetting power. Assist Stopper: This is a back up system to the Super Stopper that consists of the traditional pawl and ratchet. Should the Super Stopper roller bearing slip due to cold weather or overlubrication the Assist Stopper kicks in to provide a solid hookset the instant the roller bearing begins to slip. Most of the time the angler will not even know when this feature engages because by quickly stopping the backwards rotation of the roller bearing the Assist Stopper greatly reduces the chance of permanent damage to the Super Stopper allowing it to continue to function as designed. Dartainium Drag: This drag material provides a wider range of drag settings along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever. Oversized Cast Control Knob: Comfortable and easy to use. Clicker: When engaged the clicker increases the tension in freespool and activates a clicking alarm to alert you when a fish bites. Septon handle material: This handle grip material is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet. Oversized Clicker Button: The button is larger and makes it easier to turn on and off. Counter Balanced Handle: These single grip handles feature an extended shank with a counterbalancing weight on the opposite end of the grip. This reduces the amount of wobble during highspeed retrieves. Adjustable Handle Shank: For deep water situations or for anglers needing more leverage the handle shank can be extended to increase the amount of power that can be applied to the retrieve. NonDisengaging Levelwind System: On widespool reels with a nondisengaging levelwind system the levelwind remains engaged during the cast allowing |
