Scuba Gear Reviews by EDNA DECASTRO
Niterider Tank Mounting Strap
Rating: 
security 8/11/2009
i use this tank strap to hold my niterider battery thereby avoiding another accoutrement on my weight belt. just make sure the cords from the battery to the lights are trim to your bc as you dont want it caught up in coral Was this review helpful? Yes No 
Mares Stainless Steel Fin Spring Strap
Rating: 
easy on/easy off 8/11/2009
the "universal" spring straps do not fit the mares volo/ volo power fins...this tradmark mares spring straps do. they are pricey but well worth the money as you can easily release your fins especially when you are getting out of the water and have to catch the ladder on the boat in current. i have broken many a fingernail with the standard clasps on the volo strap, so id to the new clasps which were difficult to open with gloves...spring straps are the answer Was this review helpful? Yes No
Mares Stainless Steel Fin Spring Strap
Rating:
easy on/easy off 8/11/2009
3mm neoprene wetsuit goes on easy with little effort. does not pill when velcro hits it...european fit geared toward tall women...i am 57" and the arms and legs are 3" too long and tight at the bust line but i love MARES quality and workmanship so its a keeper Was this review helpful? Yes No

Henderson 3mm H2 Hyperstretch Titanium Gloves
Rating:
glove dexterity 8/11/2009
finally...gloves that allow your fingers to move and adjust your computer, unhook snaps, adjust rings on your bc etc. and while diving at bonne terre mines in missouri with water 53degrees it really kept my hands warm... i liked where the grips were and they did not fall off like other inferior quality gloves Was this review helpful? Yes No 
500psi 6-Piece Ultimate Diver´s Care Kit
Rating:
good product 4/10/2009
this works to prevent fogging of your mask underwater but once water enters into the mask the risk of fogging increases...works best when diving and mask never gets filled with water so i guess i am still looking for that truly waterproof defogger. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
Henderson 0.5mm Microprene Backzip Jumpsuit
Rating: 
GOOD PRODUCT BUT... 4/10/2009
very easy to put on and offers additional warmth under a thicker wetsuit but used alone offers no additional warmth. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
Mares Volo Power Adjustable Strap Fins
Rating:
best fins yet! 4/10/2009
many benefits: 1.lightweight so it wont weigh down your already heavy dive bag and in airline baggage wt restritions every ounce helps 2.swim faster in the water with less effort and hence less cramps/weakness of legs 3.if you have long strides when you swim this is the fins for you compared to split fins where you need shorter strides.(note:split fins heavier!) only disadvantage is some older dive bags may not accomdate the width of these fins Was this review helpful? Yes No

Pinnacle 3mm Titanium Beanie
Rating:
warmth for your noggin 4/6/2009
this is a great beanie to keep the hair out of your eyes and to keep your head warm even in 87 degree water... would have liked more velcro on the strap and more color options such as yellow for easy identification Was this review helpful? Yes No

XS Scuba Traveler Roller Bag with Wheels

Innovative Ez Spring Fin Strap (Pair).
Rating:
GOOD PRODUCT BUT... 11/13/2008
i like the concept of these fin straps...easy on/off.. unfortunately no matter how i tried to force them on my mares volo power fins they are not compatible...i felt they were a little heavy and i wonder if they add negative buoyancy...it would be helpful if they told you what size fits what shoe size. Was this review helpful? Yes No

Rating:
IT GLOWS 11/13/2008

500psi Mask Defog
Rating:
thick goop 11/13/2008
i am still trying to find the perfect defogger... this works well and is good for 2dives before my mask fogged up and had to use again...difficulty squeezing some of the goop out...it worked great at the start of the dive but once sea water entered your mask it kept fogging...i used it mostly when my mask was dry and before the dive. Was this review helpful? Yes No
Scuba Mask, Fin & Snorkel Backpack Bag
Rating:
stylish and practical 11/13/2008
BUY THIS...i like the straps for back pack use and it is very roomy for all the essentials for snorkel or scuba... just one thing that could be improved is that the zipper pull when exposed to salt water corrodes it but zipper still works. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
Scuba Luggage Tag
Rating:
use another identifier 11/13/2008
i am attracted to anything scuba and bought 3...they are well made but it didnt help me identify my black scuba bag from everyone elses black scuba bag...it was heavy and the couple of ounces was too much for my already 50# luggage... it had too much rubber. Was this review helpful? Yes No

Rating:
warmth after wet 11/13/2008
never thought i would need a coat to go diving in the caribean but this jacket sure came in handy at cozumel in january...while waiting on the boat for everyone to come on board it kept me warm and dry...it is made very well for the price...highly recommend Was this review helpful? Yes No

Rating:
GOOD FIT FOR WOMEN 11/15/2007
IM ON MY 3RD WET SUIT AND ITS BEEN DIFFICULT TO FIND A WET SUIT FOR WELL PROPORTIONED WOMEN...HERE IS YOUR ANSWER. IT IS COMFORTABLE TO PUT ON, THERE IS GOOD ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND IS SEAMLESS SO IT DOESNT SCRATCH. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
Pelican Rechargeable Stealthlite
Rating:
ITS RECHARGEABLE 11/15/2007
FINALLY AN AFFORDABLE RECHARGEABLE UNDERWATER LIGHT. I WAS QUITE PLEASED AS HOW BRIGHT THE LIGHT IS AND ITS PORTABLE SIZE...NO NEED TO PACK SPARE BATTERIES. ONLY DRAWBACK IS THAT IT WORKS ONLY 110V CURRENT AND NOT DUAL 110/220V. Was this review helpful? Yes No

AKONA POLYOLEFIN SKIN JUMPSUIT 11/15/2007
I LOVE THIS SKIN. IT IS ONLY 1MM THICK AND ACTS AS A 3MM WET SUIT WHICH ALLOWS LONGER PLAY TIME IN THE WATER...IT WAS PERFECT FOR 83DEGREE CARIBBEAN DIVING. AT THE SURFACE IT DRIED QUICKLY WHICH WAS IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT WAS WINDY. ONLY THING I DIDNT LIKE WAS IT ATTRACTED FLUFF IN THE INNER LINING-BUT THIS COULD EASILY BE REMOVED...OH, AND IT DID NOT PILL. Was this review helpful? Yes No 
Scuba Tank Carrier
Rating:
tank carrier 11/15/2007
THIS IS A USEFUL GADGET...BUT YOU NEED TO SECURE IT TO THE TANK SO THE WEIGHT IS EVENLY DISTRIBUTED...I CAN NOW CARRY MY OWN TANK WITHOUT GETTING SHOULDER BURN. Was this review helpful? Yes No
