TILOS TITANIUM 3/2MM BACK ZIP JUMPSUIT
Rating: Tilos Wet Suit 2/28/2007

This is my first wetsuit and i was overall satisfied for the price but somewhat disappointed. The gel knee pads were great and the zipper worked flawlessly. The 2 problems i had were: the awkward demensions of the suit( torso seemed short, arms and legs were 2-3" too long)and in one spot on my right bicep a seam lightly scratches my skin and becomes irritated when i surface. Other than those 2 things it was a fair suit.

OCEANIC ULTRA DRY SNORKEL
Rating: Good snorkel, but ultradry? 2/28/2007

This was a good snorkel as far as purging and keeping water out underwater. However oceanic claims youll never get a drip of water in this thing, and that simply isnt true. Many times when i came to the surface and inhaled i would get that familiar sound that indicates there was water in my snorkel. Fortunately the water was easy to clear so no big deal. But be warned if you buy this snorkel dont expect it to be ultradry. I gave it 4 stars because of my disappointment. On a side note the mouth piece seemed a little large and caused some jaw fatigue and at high speeds the snorkel created ALOT of drag.

CRESSI-SUB BIG EYES
Rating: Great Mask, Even Better Price 2/28/2007

recenly used this mask snorkeling/diving in costa rica. it is very comfortable, has a great fit, and not a of water came into the mask unless i wanted it to. minimal problems with fogging, a good defogger would easily eliminate the problem. low volume and downward view was huge. dont bother with more expenisve masks this is all you need.

MARES 3MM LOW TOP SOFT SOLE BOOTS
Rating: Incredibly Comfortable 2/17/2007

These shoes are very confortable due to the fact that they only have 2 seams that run up the side of your heel. The seams are very well sewn, and dont have irritating threads poking your foot. A definite plus over traditional watershoes with uncomfortable fabric and seams. ALso the price cant be beat
