Scuba Gear Reviews by Tom Pilz
SHERWOOD AVID BC
Rating: 
Economy BC 4/7/2007
i purchased this bc as a sacrificial unit for pool work. for the price, it does the job. for other than pool work, i utilize a scubapro bc. this bc has zippered integrated weight pockets that are relatively small. they are difficult to and difficult to clip in. the pockets, as with many other bcs, are almost useless. there is an additional outside pocket on this bc that comes in handy. there are several quick disconnect clips on the periphery of this bc which are great for attaching an octo. overall, a very economical unit that stands up to rigors of daily diving business.

AKONA BY SHERWOOD Safety Sausage (SMB)
Rating:
Reasonable sausage 4/7/2007

Rating:
Log book refill 4/7/2007
Good value. Standard pages. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
PADI Peak Performance DVD
Rating:
Awesome DVD 4/7/2007
Probably the most valuable skill. This DVD is different from most other PADI products. The main diver in the video actually narrates the show. Excellent product. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
PADI THE WHEEL DATA CARRIER SLATE
Rating:
Beats soggy paper 4/7/2007
Great little slate for multi-level figures. Price is right. Was this review helpful? Yes No
DEEP OUTDOORS LARGE MULTI-USE BAG
Rating:
Big Bag! 4/7/2007
Have not strapped this bag on yet, but it is cavernous. Easily hold a couple of lift bags, a couple of reels, some line, tools. Good value. Sturdy. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
INNOVATIVE SCUBA SIGN LANGUAGE MANUAL
Rating:
Signs everywhere signs 4/7/2007
Cute little book. Would be better if pages were water proof. Cool idea, very useful product overall. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
MANTA Regulator/Octo Necklace
Rating:
Suicide strap in girly color 4/7/2007
A pink strap for the better half. Works. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
CETACEA 1´´ DIVE FLAG KEY-TAG ON A SPLIT RING
Rating:
Great little key fob 4/7/2007
Emphasis on little. This is not one of the lengths that you would see on "remove before flight" tags. Its just over one inch long, but very sturdy. Could be about 3 inches long, then it would be a truly useful key fob. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
INNOVATIVE NITROX DIVER LICENSE PLATE FRAME
Rating:
Cool Frame 4/7/2007
Standard type frame Only has attachment holes at the top. Stands out like a sore thumb though, so if attracting attention to your rear end is what you are looking for, this is the frame for you. Price is about right Was this review helpful? Yes No 
Scubamax MESH DRAWSTRING BAG
Rating:
Standard bag 1/15/2007
Normal collection bag, nothing fancy, good value. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
HENDERSON LYCRA SUIT
Rating:
Hot Skin 1/15/2007
Good value for the coin. Easy on, easy off, sturdy. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
XS SCUBA 50LB LIFT BAG
Rating:
Outstanding Value! 1/13/2007
Super product for the money. Lifted many a anchor with this item. Fits perfectly into the Office accessory carrier. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
INNOVATIVE MASK STRAP
Rating: 
Aggressive velcro 1/13/2007
The loop portion of velcro mechanism gets chewed up easily by the hook portion. Sticks like glue. To preserve the material, size it, secure it, and dont undo it. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
McNett SEA GOLD ANTI-FOG
Rating:
See clearly now 1/13/2007
Best one out there. Keeps mask fog free for hours. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
Princeton Tec Shockwave L.E.D. Pack
Rating:
On back-order 1/13/2007
Ordered over a month ago, still on back-order. Buddys main light capabilities are impressive - much like a high-end european sedans lights coming at you on a dark highway. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
HENDERSON GOLD CORE 7mm Heavy Duty Zipper Boots
Rating: 
Good for warm water 1/13/2007
Comfortable, smooth. Cut too low for cold water ops. Too soft for rough handling. There are more sturdy 7mm boots (pinnacle). Was this review helpful? Yes No
UNDERWATER KINETICS MINI Q40 WITH MASK STRAP
Rating:
Beam focus 1/13/2007
An excellent small light for hands-free illumination of gauges. Serves double duty as a marker light for your head when diving with a buddy in murky waters. Super for illuminating particulate matter a couple of feet in front. Non-interference with mask strap, mask fit. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
HENDERSON HYPERSTRETCH TITANIUM GLOVES
Rating:
Warm fingers 1/13/2007
Great product. Using it in 50F water. Keeps fingers toasty. Product will practically "bond" to velcro, so watch what you are handling. Great length allows sealing off the wrists. A little hard to get into. Good tactile capabilities. Was this review helpful? Yes No
DEEP OUTDOORS The Office Accessory System..
Rating:
A place for all your accessories 1/13/2007
Outstanding value. Bought several, gave them away to friends. They love it. 2 zipper pockets keep items out of our BC pockets, and the lower attachment point is great for a lift bag. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
HENDERSON 1/2mm Microprene Tropic Cap
Rating:
Bueno Beanie 11/19/2006
Tackles long hair, easy to put on, but slides to the back when donning mask. Was this review helpful? Yes No
HENDERSON GOLD CORE MASK STRAP
Rating:
Mixed feelings strap 11/19/2006
Provides comfort and takes care of long hair, but tends to rip mask off the head when performing a boat entry. Slap strap would be a better option if youre happy with the velcro conversion. One tends to have to always adjust the routing of the mask strap under the material prior to donning mask. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
SCUBA MASK BAG WITH SEA GOLD DEFOG
Rating:
Outstanding protection 11/19/2006
Great product. Inclusion of anti-fog makes this a priceless offer. Console bags should be constructed in this manner (some mesh for air circulation and a closure mechanism). Was this review helpful? Yes No 
SCUBA LUGGAGE TAG
Rating:
Heavy duty tag 11/19/2006
Good value for the money. The see-thru vinyl portion could be stiffer - the existing vinyl allows for ink on the tag to mark up the vinyl. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
SCUBA CONSOLE PROTECTIVE COVER
Rating:
Needs a closure - big time 11/19/2006
Offers good protection, except the console tends to slide out of the opening if you are not extra careful. Could use a mesh side and a zipper closure to keep console from being damaged. Good value for the money otherwise Was this review helpful? Yes No
SCUBA REGULATOR BAG
Rating:
Good protection 11/19/2006
Far superior than what dive centers offer, and less $$$. Big enough to fit reg and octo. Outside pouch big enough to fit console. Great protection for travel, but dont put away your reg wet - this thing is air-tight. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
NEOSPORT BY HENDERSON 7/5MM JUMPSUIT
Rating:
Quality product 11/19/2006
Great closeout value. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
SHERWOOD TANK MESH PROTECTOR
Rating:
Good value 11/19/2006
No problem. A little oversize for an 80, but easily trimmed. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
TRIDENT STATE DIVE FLAG STICKERS
Rating:
Some defective stickers 11/19/2006
Some of the stickers ordered had factory flaws (red color splotches on the white stripe), but otherwise a good product. Good adhesive. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
HYPERFLEX BY HENDERSON HOOD WITH VISOR
Rating: 
Keeps the heat in 11/19/2006
Good product. Visor is not required, but best thing after a hooded vest. Was this review helpful? Yes No
SUPREMA XLNT UNDERWATER MOTORIZED CAMERA
Rating:
Economical pictures 11/19/2006
Good enty-level 35mm. Very much positively buoyant - could try to weigh it down with some lead. Uncomplicated sealing mechanism. Reliable Was this review helpful? Yes No 
INNOVATIVE VINYL DIVE FLAG WINDOW STICKER
Rating:
Different Sticker 11/19/2006
this sticker is not the raised vinyl unit that i thought i was going to get. it is flat just like any other ordinary sticker. not that thats a bad thing - the raised vinyl type adhesive is not all that strong however, the price of this unit could be lower considering what you get. Was this review helpful? Yes No
