Oceanic Used VT3 Air/Nitrox Hoseless Dive Computer
Rating: VT3 Air/Nitrox Hoseless Dive Computer Computer with Transmitter 8/12/2007

This is a great dive computer. Air-integrated, hoseless and worn on the wrist. Rapid acquisition of the transmitter signal. A great improvement over the previous generation of dive computer which I upgraded from. All of the essential information is easily accessed. Good ergonomics on the buttons. Easily accessed and used while wearing my gloves. The display has a large readout which is helpful for someone like me who uses "cheaters" (bifocals) to read. Included software and connections for downloading dive information, but I had repeated errors trying to use with Windows XP. I highly recommend this dive computer.

Oceanic Used VT3 Air/Nitrox Hoseless Dive Computer
Rating: Force Fins Original style fins 8/12/2007

Purchased for my 18 year old son. He found them to be easy on the legs and was happy with their propulsion. They were comfortable and easy to get on and off. I also noticed that he was much easier on the reeef and stirred up much less sand/silt than he did with his old, long, blade-style fins. His size and color were in short supply and we had a dive trip coming up in less than a week. I called Force Fins and Bob Evans (The designer of Force Fins) himself made certain that Scuba.com had a pair in my sons size and color. If none were available, he offered to ship me his own, personal pair for my son to use on the trip. As it was, Scubacom expeited the delivery and we had no problems. Great fins.

Rating: Force Fins Tan Delta Rock 9/19/2006

These fins are extremely comfortable and efficient. They provide excellent power, when needed, and allow long periods of diving with no cramping or fatigue of the legs. We just did a week of five dives a day on a live aboard and leg fatigue or discomfort were never an issue. They are short, and spare the reef during macro photo shoots. They allow great maneuverability on the reef. These fins are stylish, with their translucent blue color. They look really great in underwater photos. Highly recommend.
