| Scuba Dive Flag and Float Reviews 
Reviewer: Jeff Baker on 8/24/2008
Failed During First Dive - The Good: The product design is great for the ease of portability. I travel by kayak to my favorite snorkeling spots and it takes up almost no room in my dive bag. The Bad: The product design is terrible based on the choice of material and manufacturing method. The plastic flag is spot-welded (e.g. melted) to the plastic flag stick. On my unit, the bottom weld was too deep and crimped the flag stick. Within an hour of use on the very first dive the flag stick failed at the crimp and flopped over like a dead fish making the flag virtually invisible to approaching boats. Not good. Upon returning home, I shoved a length of heavy gauge wire through the hollow plastic flag to give it... View Full Review

| XS Scuba Safety Sausage (SMB) Reviews 
Reviewer: Mary Salaja on 5/12/2008
safety sausage - As a 6 safety sausage it is easy to inflate and very visible in high seas. However, the wind can blow it over, making it hard to stay upright. I attached one of my spare weights to it to hold it down in the water. This allowed the inflated tube to stay upright without me holding it. I also wanted to get at it quickly, so I rolled it up and put a velcro strap around it. The velcro is permanently attached to my BC pocket. The sausage is now easy to unroll in the water and the weight fits in the bag that comes with it. All was attached to my BC with the sturdy harden plastic clip. I am satisfied with the product. I may attach a dive emblem on it, some time in the future. The tube takes the... View Full Review

| Seachange Technology Shark Shield Freedom 7 Reviews 
Reviewer: Christopher Taitingfong on 7/30/2009
Shark Shield 7 - I am still not quite sure about this. Everwhere that I have read claims it to be the best thing. I can say that I have used this about 7 times now and I have only encountered one small white tip shark but was by the time I got into the water it was already gone. So I guess I can say that it does work(cause I have not seen a shark near me). We have a lot of different sharks here in Kwajalein Atoll. Hopefully when I get into deeper waters I will be able to test it better. No drag & compfortable! After a while I do not realize that it is there. Have not got it tangled either! But it surely has boosted my confidence in the waters!!

| Innovative Signal Mirror Reviews
Reviewer: Ray H Gray III on 7/5/2008
A must have survival accessory - small, compact, and effective. as a former navy aircraft carrier pilot i know the necessity of open water survival gear and the need to communicate your presence over a large distance. between march and june 2008 there were 7 instances in the media where divers were left floating in open water for 3 to 60 hours. in the vast ocean, you have three basic concerns staying afloat, staying alive, and being seen. in the daytime, a survival mirror transforms your visual presence from an invisible black dot on the surface of the ocean to a bright dot visible out to ten miles! all the above divers reported seeing rescue craft looking for them but could not get their attention. when you practice...

| XS Scuba SMB Rescue Kit Reviews
Reviewer: Marco L. on 1/20/2013
Excellent products! - As a new Dive Master, safety is the top priority. I bought this product as the SMB comes with a complete set with Light Stick, Compass, Whistle, Signal Mirror and a Buddy Connector. Recalled my recent night dive with group of divers, we were drifted away due to surface current, thanks to the highly visible SMB, combined with loud whistle and torch the signal mirror with my dive torch, the boatman spotted us within seconds from far.... I highly recommending to all divers to dive with this product. The only drawback of this product is the compass in this set is not working however I always dive with my wristband compass.

| Trident Signal Tube Surface Marker Buoy (SMB) Reviews
Reviewer: Tom W. on 5/10/2013
saved me - On a recent trip to Cozumel, I had to surface unexpectedly due to equipment failure. Thre dive boat was 200 yards away and not looking for me. Choppy seas. I was exhausted and probably could not have blown up my old sausage using the oral inflator. The Trident is inflated by your 2nd stage rapidly and efficiently. Its wider profile makes it easier to see. The boat crew saw it and came to my aid. Thanks, Trident.

| Trident Reef Hook Reviews
Reviewer: David Herzog on 4/25/2010
hook too big, string not easy to manage - Bought this for my trip to Palau, but ended up using the ones provided by the dive shop (shark hooks with the point ground off). The hook is way too big and doesnt hook easily to small areas. Also the rope is nylon and doesnt roll up or "daisy chain" well.
I give it 2 stars instead of 1 because the brass clip is top quality! I use it for other things now.
