Scuba Gear Reviews by Geoffrey Rand

My second Freestyle purchase. Nice sturdy watch with easy to read display and simple to control buttons. Plus, its no big loss if it comes off during a dive due to the cheap price.

Simple, no frills slate. Its a little wide for my tastes. Ill probably trim it down some. It works.

I had a tank start slipping during a previous dive. It will never happen again with this tank strap. It is an extremely secure fitting strap that gives you reassurance your tank is fasten properly. It took a little bit of time setting it up at first, but now that its on, its a snap. Just a few twists, and Im all set. Very cool.

Nice sturdy case, like all Pelican cases are. Easily fits my Sealife DC600 camera, strobe, and battery chargers and batteries for the camera and the strobe plus more.

This stuff is the only thing I could find that works for sea lice itching. I was miserable on our trip until I found this stuff. Buy several as youll only get a few days application, especially if using over a large area like your back, like I needed to.

What a great price for an awesome piece of gear. I was able to attach it to the side of my BC using some cable ties. It holds my DAN SMB perfectly.

Nice compact knife. It might be too small for those with large hands.

These are great. The sheath is nice too. I mounted mine upside down on the right side of my BC with some straps I made. The logos come off easy with a knife if youre not all about advertising.

I was looking for something that would fit well for wear under a wetsuit. These look like they will work for that purpose. One improvement I would suggest is the addition of a bit more of a waistband. Its pretty much just the drawstring at the top with no elastic. I think it would be more comfortable with some elastic.

Nice spool. It is sturdy and compact, especially for holding 150 ft of string.

Nice gloves. They appear to offer decent protection while still allowing sensitivity to manipulate small buttons, etc. Just a note, I ordered two sets, one in small and one in extra small, both in the same color, black. The extra small ones had some blue on them, the small ones were black with grey and white. Im not sure if that is how they are or a mistake.

Extremely well built backpack. Cinch cord, grommets, zippers, handles, straps, and mesh all seem overbuilt and look like theyll last as long as the gear that you haul in it. The outside pocket is large enough to hold a reg, however, I use mine to hold my spare parts kit along with sun block, hat, sunglasses, etc. Theres a lot of room in there. The water resistant inside pocket runs the length of the bag and will hold a towel or similar sized items. The bag will easily hold two sets of personal gear (mask, snorkel, fins) with room to spare, or can fit one complete set of diving gear. Much better quality and much cheaper price than a similar mesh backpack sold at my local dive shop.

Great bag shape and size and decent padding. The zipper is also sturdy. It also has on outside pocket that you could use for manuals or other thin items. Overall, great reg bag at a great price.

I purchased the silver colored pen. It works well on neoprene and nylon, however the markings I put on my fins rubbed off after 3 pool sessions. I have heard keeping plastic items marked requires periodic reapplication, so I am unsure if it is the fault of this product or just a fact that plastic is difficult to keep labeled.

Very comfortable, flexible foot pocket. The curved form of the fins generate a great amount of power. The quick disconnect strap is wide and durable. Very nice fin.

Excellent snorkel. Extremely easy to clear and quick disconnect allows freedom to swivel, yet is easy to detach and re-attach. The flexible hose is the perfect length and is comfortable to bend to reach your mouth but stays out of the way when youre not using it.
