Apollo Bio Pro XT Adjustable Strap Fins
Rating: BEST FINS EVER 10/11/2006

I cant say enough nice things about these fins. They seem to be alot more durable than the regular BIO PROs. I have owned both the regular and the XT and like the XT better. More torque and more solid feel to the fin. I think they respond quicker than the regular fins. The regular fins are a littel easier to put on and take off and mold a little better than the XT but I still recommend the XT for the performance over comfort.

Nice accessory. Holds octopus and keeps it from free flowing.

Innovative Dive Flag
Rating: Nice flag 10/11/2006

Flag is very nice and durable. Only complaint is that it is hard to stow away in my dive bag. With the extender, it doesnt fold up.

Trident Fox 40 Whistle
Rating: EXTREMELY LOUD 10/11/2006

This whistle is great. Loudest whistle Ive ever used. Small, compact, and definitely an attention getter. The price is definitely right. Wouldnt dive without it. No need to try other whistles or look for a better one because it is the best.

Trident Fox 40 Whistle
Rating: Personal Preference 10/11/2006

The mask strap was everything it claimed to be and more. It was very comfortable but I have stopped using it. In fact, I actually lost it as well as a mask on entry to davy jones locker. The material slips very easily on your hair which is good for putting the mask on but bad because it comes off very easily. If your careless like I was you will find yourself having to buy another mask.

Sherwood Magnum Six (6) Window Mask
Rating: Magnum Six Window Mask - Should be Six Gallon Mask 10/11/2006

The mask provided a good field of vision but the shear volumn of the mask makes it difficult to clear. Not a problem if it never fogs or seals on your face. I have a narrow face and couldnt get it to completely seal. I wouldnt recommend it to small faced divers.

Henderson Warm Water Gloves
Rating: Henderson Warm Water Gloves - Good but NOT Great 10/11/2006

The gloves are very comfortable and provide a good feel. Easy to pick things up wearing the gloves as well as operate your essential equipment as well as lights and camera. MY PROBLEMS: A little trouble puting them on Wet. The gloves get dirty very easily. I dive in black water with a rocky or muddy bottom. Ive noticed that the palm material seems to be permanently stained... almost like a grass stain but brown. Overall Id recommend the gloves for covering up your hands and providing contact protection.
