"Does this book say anything about saltwater
withdrawls? I got to get a new hose for my
drysuit, a new steel 100 and a DIN adapter
for my reg. Don't know if I can hold out that
long. Maybe some Morton salt in my bath would
help."
The Morton brand is a decent choice, but make
sure you get the coarse Kosher type in the big
blue box. It actually came from dehydrated sea
water.
Epsom salts are the worst - it leaves you feeling
as if you just came out of a water treatment plant
purification pool ala Culligan Man. A plus to
Epsom is that any and all skin abrasions seem to
heal real fast after being in it. This could be
benifical if you are grabbing bugs in your tub
without gloves on and cutting your hands up on
those spiny crustaceons.
But if you are grabbing bugs in your tub, there
is yet another problem that needs to be addressed
first... and I afraid dumping salt into your tub
isn't the primary solution ;-).
