This weeks DOG is Mike Neil.  Mike has been diving in a DUI suit since 1968.

Mike's current project is a three man team working with SeaDoc Society at UC Davis in partnership with Coastal Conservancy Commission to remove Derelict Fishing Gear off the Coast of California. For those interested in more information or to report sightings of derelict fishing gear please click here or or 1-888-491-GEAR.

Mike is pictured in his DUI CF200X with ZipSeals. "I only dive DUI CF200s," said Mike. "This one I'm wearing has the new ZipSeal System. I blew out my neck seal on the project and within 10 minutes I was back in business. The ZipSeals are the only way to go!"

"I have been a commercial harvest diver (sea urchins, abalone, sea cucumber, etc.) for 25 years. I reluctantly gave up my 3/8" wetsuit for a DUI CF200X 10 years ago. I wish I started sooner!"

"I dove my first DUI wetsuit in 1968. There has certainly been a few changes at the factory."

"The other photo was taken when my Dad and I were sitting on top of the Yukon."
