HENDERSON POLYOLEFIN HOT SOCKS
Rating: You need these. 9/19/2006

I dive cold water mostly. My feet were steaming when I took my boots off. Not only that but I got a better fit with my boots with these on. Who needs cold feet, these are the perfect solution to your feet getting cold on cold water dives.

H2O Alpha 2 Mask
Rating: Better than clearing a standard mask 9/19/2006

Bu unfortunately, the bubbles go right in front of your eyes. A good mask fit my smaller face well and purge valve is still going strong, this is a backup mask for me, I prefered the oceanic mask with the purge, that one has a channel that the bubbles go to the sides so you can see when clearing your mask. I would reccoment this mask as a cheaper alternative.

XS SCUBA 7mm Pyrostretch Heavy Duty Boots
Rating: Good boots 9/19/2006

Me and zippers, I hate them these boots were the answer. Slip on comfortable and kept my feet warm and protected. Still look new after a couple of dives. No complaints, best feature is the thick treads, these should last forever. I walked in over rocks and was comfortable, could not feel the sharp rocks on my feet.

GENESIS RESPONSE FINS
Rating: Low cost fins 9/19/2006

For the price they are ok, I wanted to try this style of fin and purchased mainly for the price. They worked, nothing broke, and I would reccomend them as a back-up, the quick release is a little sticky, the clips are hard to release with gloves on, but all in all worth the price.

TILOS 7MM PLATINUM GLIDESKIN JUMPSUIT
Rating: Really warm! 8/15/2006

Only problem was neck. Neck was way too tight for me, so I cut the front to seam below neck about one inch then applies some aquaseal to keep it from tearing more and it was fine. Still a very dry suit and kept me very warm in Monterey.
