Bought
a pair of Aquamundo wave cutter fins when I was in the Philippines
and love the ease in performance and design of foot pocket and
quick release buckles. It's a great pair of fins to have and very
affordable. I recommend you check out their line of gear if ever
you visit the Philippines.

Price: $700
Local Purchase: yes
This bc is awesome. Its very comfortable and adjustable and easily
switchable to 2 tanks. Its all clips in the front and the integrated
weights are perfect for warm water diving because it eliminates
the need for a shorty. Although this bc is a top pick for northeast
ice divers. 6 drings on the front aswell for clipping your gizmos
onto.

Great bcd, comfortable fit, lots of places to clip things on to.
Comes with hose clips to secure octo, and one for the guages.
Pockets are vilcro fastened which can be a bit difficult to open
under water if your not familiar with it. Built in lumbar support
for oower back support. I like the partial weight integration
(up to 12lbs) this means less weight to put on the belt. I am
thuroughly happy with mine. Great for novice or advanced divers.

Bought this as my first BCD-as a student, money was tight and
I had been persuded against ordering online by talk of grey market
equipment- wish I hadn't have listened and spent money on a brand
instead. BC is a pain ot deflate and tends to hold air-have to
squeeze myself to get down. Underwater, swims ok-fairly comfy
and little drag, but the inflator has begun to leak already.

much it will cost. The bulb, I was told cannot be purchased locally.
It comes from over seas and appears that its not available yet.
If you decide to purchase this light, I would suggest checking

Price: $122.00 Can inc. tax & extra grip
Where Purchased: Local
UK D-8 dive light. When you dive at night or in deep water where
darkness is a problem this is a good flood light.Very bright white.
It is big and heavy, but under water it doesn't matter that much.
Don't buy lantern handle, buy pistol grip. I purchased the pistol
grip, had to pay extra $10.00, now I'm happy. And my wrist is
too. The nylon lanyard is a joke. It is a shoe lace with automotive
thick wall rubber hose. Mine is in the garbage! Exactly where
it belongs. Invest in good lanyard UK cut the corner here. Overall
very good light, I personaly like it.

The delayedaid, simply helps divers to deploy their delayed SMB
quicker and easier. It attaches to your reel and your delayed
SMB and allows divers to fill their delayed smb without trying
to hold the thing open at the same time. I'm impressed and would
recommend it to all divers who use a delayed SMB. I downloaded
an order form from the web site after seeing video footage which
can also be viewed on the site. www.delayedaid.com

One of my latest purchases was my Shearwood BC, the Silhouette.
It's quite comfortable with the placements of the adjustable straps,
and the padded cumberbund.
The only downfall is the lack of D-rings. The Silhouette model
has been offered with little to no change for over 15 years, that
in itself must mean something. Besides, for the money I couldn't
pass it up. I realize this is starting to sound like a sales pitch,
it was in noway to intended in this way.

Fantastic, using these fins requires a lot less effort in the

The innovative strap release mechanism means once the strap size
is set adjustment is no longer required for each use.
