Scuba Gear Reviews by Kristian B.
XS Scuba EZ Attach BC & Drysuit Quick Disconnect Hose
Rating:
Great value 2/17/2009
XS Scuba always produces good value at good prices. Easy to connect/disconnect with thick gloves, but stays on securely Was this review helpful? Yes No
XS Scuba 7mm Pyrostretch Heavy Duty Boots
Rating:
Nice Boot, good value 2/17/2009
XS Scuba manufactures some really nice product at a very decent price. These boots definately run on the small side especially when used over latex built-in drysuit socks, and drysuit thermal socks under that. Need to go 1-2 sizes up for that application. Was this review helpful? Yes No
XS Scuba 120 Cubic Foot High Pressure Steel Tank
Rating:
A great addition for longer dive times 11/20/2008
We have a number of HP Steel 80s but there are times as an air hog I needed some extra time - these 120s fit the bill perfectly. They arrived, ready to be filled. Was this review helpful? Yes No
XS Scuba Dry Suit Hanger
Rating:
Nice Hanger for travelling 9/25/2008
The drysuit hanger has worked very nicely for hanging my suit in between dives on trips. Since any residual moister usually accumulates in the feet, this makes overnight drying a breeze. Was this review helpful? Yes No
XS Scuba Dry Suit Hanger
Rating:
Great socks for the price 9/25/2008
I use both soft boots when I wetsuit dive and hardsole boots for my drysuit. These socks make a nice cushion inside both. The price was terrific. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Innovative Fin Strap (Pair) For Scubapro Twin Jet Fins
Rating:
A great replacement or backup strap 9/25/2008
I was very pleased with the seemless integration of these straps for my Twin Jets. They were easy to put on/take off in the water for shore diving/boat diving. I got two sizes so I could use when wearing softboots w/wetsuit or my hard boots/drysuit. The original scubapro straps are now in my save-a-dive kit (nobody should be without a backup strap or 2... trust me). Having multiple colors is a great plus. Was this review helpful? Yes No
JBL 38-Special Northwest Speargun
Rating:
Cant wait to use this 9/10/2007
I purchased this model w/3 bands specifically for the Ling and Cabezon in our area. It appears to be well made, and I am itching to pull the trigger on our next trip. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Princeton Tec Locking Retractor with Snap
Rating:
Nice retractor 9/10/2007
this is our third PT rectractor Was this review helpful? Yes No
Apollo Prestige Stowable Semi-Dry Snorkel
Rating:
Great dive snorkel 9/10/2007
I was really impressed with the stowability of the snorkel, and because of the contour design it is the first snorkel I have not minded wearing while diving. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Oceanic Instrument Retractor
Rating:
Heavy duty yet lightweight 9/10/2007
I got this retractor to go with the Torrent LED light - very impressed Was this review helpful? Yes No
Innovative Dive Slate
Rating:
For the price, its great to communicate 9/10/2007
You cant go wrong here. I attached the pencil with rubber tubing for 20 cents. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Princeton Tec Torrent 3 Watt L.E.D. Light
Rating:
Great light at a great price 9/10/2007
I have been very impressed with the Torrent, it really puts off great light and is pretty efficient, and the on/off switch is handy. A little heavy due to 8 - AA batteries. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Princeton Tec Torrent 3 Watt L.E.D. Light
Rating:
Great suit at a great price 8/22/2007
For the price I felt it was of a quality of a suit costing twice as much. I especially like the molded rubber knee pads. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Princeton Tec Torrent 3 Watt L.E.D. Light
Rating:
A very nice wetsuit at a great price 8/16/2007
This is the first wetsuit I have purchased online but was very pleased. This is a very nicely manufactured wetsuit and having molded rubber knee pads will be great for lava and rocky areas for shore diving on our spring trip to Maui. Usually I wear an XL but had to re-order a Large in size because they ran a little large and long. Scuba.com was great about the return - no questions asked. The price couldnt be better. Was this review helpful? Yes No
XS Scuba Safety Sausage (SMB)
Rating:
All divers need one 8/3/2007
I havent had to use one for a while but the time you need one you better have one. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Princeton Tec Torrent 3 Watt L.E.D. Light
Rating:
A very impressive light at a great price 8/3/2007
The lighting power on this light is very good. It makes a secure backup light, and I use it on almost every day dive in limited viz areas to explore or to signal others. Having a switch to turn on/off was very nice instead of having to screw in the head/bulb to turn on and off. Great price, just bought another one for my wife. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Scuba Tank Carrier
Rating:
Saves your back 6/12/2007
I was pleased with the construction, comfortable handle, and secure rubber really makes it a breeze to lug tanks, especially our steel 100 and 120s. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Sherwood Din Valve Plug
Rating:
Secure your valves 6/12/2007
We hooked up the screw in Din valve along with a rubber cap - when the tank is full we use the screw in, when it is empty we use the plastic cap - that way we know a tank is empty but we can keep the valve free of debri Was this review helpful? Yes No
Underwater Kinetics Hangair Wetsuit/Drysuit Dryer
Rating:
Incredible and portable 6/12/2007
We dive a lot in cold waters of Puget Sound Washington and in mountain lakes so our wetsuits are a must. These dryers worked great in between dives and to be ready for the first morning dive - nothing worse than a cold wet wetsuit at 6am. Was this review helpful? Yes No
OMS Zipper Pull Balls (8)
Rating:
Find your zippers easily 6/12/2007
These pulls make finding your BC zippers a breeze. The bright colored balls helped my wife see me on a recent low viz dive in Puget sound Washington Was this review helpful? Yes No
XS Scuba Folding Wetsuit Hanger
Rating:
Great hanger 6/12/2007
We purchased the set and have really been pleased with the quality and functionality Was this review helpful? Yes No

Let people know you scuba 5/29/2007
Nice sized decal for your vehicle or home Was this review helpful? Yes No
XS Scuba Valve Protector
Rating:
Good value for backups to screw in protectors 5/29/2007
Works just fine for the purpose Was this review helpful? Yes No
Sherwood Din Valve Plug
Rating:
Well fitting and easy to use 5/29/2007
Definately easier to screw in to your DIN valve instead of prying rubber caps on and off the valve. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Scuba Tank Carrier
Rating:
A great back saver 5/29/2007
This strap carrier really makes hauling two tanks at a time easy - my wife loves it. Nice fitting straps w/rubber grips and very comfortable handles. An excellent value for lugging 120cf steel Was this review helpful? Yes No
XS Scuba Deluxe Yoke/Din Tank Pressure Checker
Rating:
Great Pressure Guage - dont get short filled again 5/29/2007
The best part of the guage is how easily you can switch from Yoke to DIN tanks. So far I have probably saved $20 in short filled tanks by bringing this along. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Scuba Dive Flag and Float
Rating:
Nice Buoy for travel 5/29/2007
The compact size makes it a great buoy for travelling when space is a premium. Works great for lakes or minimal surf areas when you need to tow it. Wouldnt be suitable for ocean/bays with heavy winds or tide. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Princeton Tec Aqua Strobe
Rating:
Very powerful and affordable 4/16/2007
This strobe really puts off some light - great for murky nightime diving. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Innovative Dive Slate
Rating:
The best $5.00 I spent for scuba 4/16/2007
The slate board does everything I needed to do underwater at an affordable price. The slate was invaluable during our navigation/compass specialty course as well as for communicating things that you just cant convey to your dive partner. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Underwater Kinetics Blue Tang Hydralloy Knife
Rating:
Great knife at a great value 4/16/2007
I believe the construction of the knife is very good and the steel blade has terrific features - the blunt tip is wonderful for prying and you wont cut your suit when you put it back in the sheath. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Freestyle Hammerhead Watch
Rating:
Very impressed - $400 features in a $100 watch 4/9/2007
I was skeptical at buying a $100 watch that says it was rated to 660 feet for diving but after I got the watch, I dont take it off - wear it at work, camping, riding motorcycles etc.. The dials are easy to read and the glow in dark features are impressive. The backlight button feature is terrific at night. The band is very comfortable and has a length adjustment that works nicely on my bare wrist or over my 7mm wetsuit. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Freestyle Hammerhead Watch
Rating:
Great value and well constructed 4/9/2007
Diving in the Pacific NW, I wanted a good game bag to collect crawfish, oysters, and Dungeoness crab - this bag was well constructed and had many nice features making it a versatile underwater bag. Great value. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Underwater Kinetics Uni Lobster/Game Bag
Rating:
Perfect for Crab, Oysters, crawfish or treasures 4/9/2007
Diving in the Pacific NW, I wanted a good game bag to collect crawfish, oysters, and Dungeoness crab - this bag was well constructed and had many nice features making it a versatile underwater bag. Great value. Was this review helpful? Yes No
XS Scuba Safety Sausage (SMB)
Rating:
No diver should be without one 4/9/2007
We dive primarily in the Pacific NW - no matter how good your navigation skills are, you never know if you may have to surface in rough waters, strong currents, or away from your boat. I havent had to use it but feel better that I have it. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Innovative Dive Flag
Rating:
Every boat should have one 4/9/2007
This was a nicely constructed flag and fit perfectly over my Marine VHF antenna Was this review helpful? Yes No
Innovative Flag & Float (2 Parts)
Rating:
Easy to use and a great value 4/9/2007
In the Pacific NW we are diving in a lot of changing conditions so I needed a dive flag/float that was reliable and easy to setup and tear down. Since diving with a marker/flag is the law here, I feel confident with the Trident system. We even attach strobes to the top and bottom for night diving. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Innovative Stainless Steel Carabiner Coil Lanyard
Rating:
Everthing I Expected 4/9/2007
I needed a good attachment for my underwater camera gear and this lanyard coild worked great. Quality material and hardware. It was easy to snap and unsnap - never felt like I was going to loose my $1,000 camera outfit. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Princeton Tec Adventure Light Pack
Rating:
Exceeded my expectations for the price - Great combo pack 4/9/2007
My wife and I recently went on our first night dive in the Pacific NW in March. I didnt want to spend a fortune to outfit us with a main, backup, and strobe but I also wanted reliable equipment. Scuba.coms rep recommended this combination set and I was very pleased with everything. The buying experience at Scuba.com was fantastic. Was this review helpful? Yes No
