Trident No Tangle Shock Cord W/ 16 Feet Of Tuna Line
Rating: Minimizes tangles 9/28/2008

Put this on my A.B. Biller as a replacement line and I like it a lot better than the stock one. The line is a bit stiffer and, like the name says, it really does minimize the tangling you get with floppier cordage.

Pure Instinct by Mares Samurai Extreme Snorkel
Rating: Simple and effective 9/28/2008

A refreshingly simple snorkel. No purge valves. No accordion sections. Nada. Nothing to go wrong... One minor bummer is that the "quick release" isnt that quick. Its not something youre going to just click together in 1/2 a second. Not a huge issue, but something to be aware of.

Scubamax WEIGHT BELT
Rating: Hmmmmm... 8/17/2006

So the pockets are fine, and it seems well made, but the strap was waaaaay too short. Couldnt fit it around my waist with my wetsuit on, and Im pretty fit (31" waist).

MARES X-VISION MID SKIRT MASK
Rating: Great for a narrow face 8/17/2006

Ive got a very narrow face, and its been a challenge to find a mask, not built for a child, that fits me well. This one is perfect.

Princeton Tec SHOCKWAVE II BULB
Rating: Works 8/17/2006

Its a bulb. It fits the socket. It lights up the water. Nuff sed.

WATERBORNE SAFETY STRAPS
Rating: Waterborne Safety Strap: A-OK 8/17/2006

Love it. I put it on my Mosquito (with extender clips from Suunto to make it fit) and it works beautifully.
