Niterider Tank Mounting Strap
Rating: Niterider-Tank-Mounting-Strap 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

Mares Stainless Steel Fin Spring Strap
Rating: Mares-Stainless-Steel-Fin-Spring-Strap 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

Mares Stainless Steel Fin Spring Strap
Rating: Mares-Stainless-Steel-Fin-Spring-Strap 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

Henderson 3mm H2 Hyperstretch Titanium Gloves
Rating: Henderson-3mm-H2-Hyperstretch-Titanium-Gloves 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

500psi 6-Piece Ultimate Diver´s Care Kit
Rating: 500psi-6-Piece-Ultimate-Divers-Care-Kit 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.

Henderson 0.5mm Microprene Backzip Jumpsuit
Rating: Henderson-0.5mm-Microprene-Backzip-Jumpsuit 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.

Mares Volo Power Adjustable Strap Fins
Rating: Mares-Volo-Power-Adjustable-Strap-Fins 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

Pinnacle 3mm Titanium Beanie
Rating: Pinnacle-3mm-Titanium-Beanie 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

XS Scuba Traveler Roller Bag with Wheels
Rating: XS-Scuba-Traveler-Roller-Bag-with-Wheels well made 4/6/2009

heavy duty material with plastic/rust proof zipper which is a plus however would prefer 2 zippers to open outside pockets and major access and prefer additional heavy duty handles on sides to help carry bag

Innovative Ez Spring Fin Strap (Pair).
Rating: Innovative-Ez-Spring-Fin-Strap-Pair. 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.

500psi Mask Defog
Rating: 500psi-Mask-Defog 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.

Scuba Mask, Fin & Snorkel Backpack Bag
Rating: Scuba-Mask--Fin---Snorkel-Backpack-Bag 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.

Scuba Luggage Tag
Rating: Scuba-Luggage-Tag 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.

Pelican Rechargeable Stealthlite
Rating: Pelican-Rechargeable-Stealthlite 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.

Innovative Dry Box Standard
Rating: Innovative-Dry-Box-Standard 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.

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.
