Easy enough to improvise something. Nice photos BTW. The wrecks looked shallow enough to see them well. I tried to google the fish, but no clear matches.

Thanks! Those wrecks were at about 70fsw. Vis was pretty good that week! One of these days I'll figure out what that fish is....

Are they sturdy enouph? I load my hanger down with serious weight.

No way to determine "enough". They're pretty darned sturdy, though. The non-folding ones are just sturdier. And pack better, ironically. (IMO)

I'm always trying to reduce luggage size and weight and have never found a need to pack special bulky hangers. Lots of ops I go to have drying areas for wetsuits with decent hangers, and I'm not worried about drying anything else during the trip. For hanging a light wetsuit in the room this isn't bad and much more compact - http://www.containerstore.com/browse...7&PRODID=63697.
When drying gear in my room to pack it usually gets draped over chairs and tables on the patio or balcony which works fine. On a liveaboard everybody straps gear to the railings on the sundeck for drying at the end. Those braided stretchy clotheslines come in handy for smaller stuff, bathing suits, etc., no clips needed.
