Scuba Gear Reviews by Daniel Phillips

Typical inflator hoses. Bought 2 hoses. 1 had a little chrome plating missing the other looked fine. They function fine. Hard to excited about an inflator hose.

purchased the shears and took on trip. glad that we did not have to use them. i like the neat little case that they come in, however you need to pay attention to where you snap them on your bc. the case came off on one shallow dive not sure how that happened.

Took down on dive to 100 plus feet. Did not use it, however because it turns on by twisting bezel I was worried about salt water seeping into the body and wrecking the batteries. I am happy to say that the light came up dry and ready to be used. Maybe next trip.

I like the straight forward operation. Clear step through process to review your dives. I recommend it to anyone looking for a work horse of a dive computer. Recently did a trip to Hawaii and did 2 and 3 dives per day. My brother has another brand. He was always asking about no decompression time on multiple dives because his computer either doesnt calculate or he couldnt figure how to find it.

Basic octo. I assume it works well, but I have never had anyone buddy breathe from it.

Blizzard is good all around set up. After 6 dives in Cancun in May 2006, max 65, and 11 dives in Hawaii, max 105, in September 2006 the regulator works well without dry mouth. I had advanced open water training in Garret Bay, Door County, WI in September 2006 and the regulator was great. Water temp below thermocline was 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Waiting to get the chance to take near freezing mark as I progress towards Master Scuba Diver.

The snorkel works great, keeps water out for easy use. One problem inherent in the type of hard plastic mask mounting clip is they are not forgiving. We broke the clip on both snorkels on first use. Buy a silicone snorkel keeper, it will save the hassle. The clip is sold with a number of snorkels, so it is not just an xs scuba brand problem. Dan Phillips Menasha, WI
