Scuba Gear Reviews by Kristian B.

XS Scuba 120 Cubic Foot High Pressure Steel Tank
Rating: XS-Scuba-120-Cubic-Foot-High-Pressure-Steel-Tank 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.

XS Scuba Dry Suit Hanger
Rating: XS-Scuba-Dry-Suit-Hanger 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.

Deep See 3mm Neoprene Dive Socks
Rating: Deep-See-3mm-Neoprene-Dive-Socks 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.

Innovative Fin Strap (Pair) For Scubapro Twin Jet Fins
Rating: Innovative-Fin-Strap-Pair-For-Scubapro-Twin-Jet-Fins 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.

JBL 38-Special Northwest Speargun
Rating: JBL-38-Special-Northwest-Speargun 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.

Apollo Prestige Stowable Semi-Dry Snorkel
Rating: Apollo-Prestige-Stowable-Semi-Dry-Snorkel 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.

Princeton Tec Torrent 3 Watt L.E.D. Light
Rating: Princeton-Tec-Torrent-3-Watt-L.E.D.-Light 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.

Princeton Tec Torrent 3 Watt L.E.D. Light
Rating: Princeton-Tec-Torrent-3-Watt-L.E.D.-Light 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.

Princeton Tec Torrent 3 Watt L.E.D. Light
Rating: Princeton-Tec-Torrent-3-Watt-L.E.D.-Light 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.

Princeton Tec Torrent 3 Watt L.E.D. Light
Rating: Princeton-Tec-Torrent-3-Watt-L.E.D.-Light 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.

Scuba Tank Carrier
Rating: Scuba-Tank-Carrier Saves your back 6/12/2007

Sherwood Din Valve Plug
Rating: Sherwood-Din-Valve-Plug 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

Underwater Kinetics Hangair Wetsuit/Drysuit Dryer
Rating: Underwater-Kinetics-Hangair-Wetsuit-Drysuit-Dryer 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.

OMS Zipper Pull Balls (8)

Scuba Tank Carrier
Rating: Scuba-Tank-Carrier 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

XS Scuba Deluxe Yoke/Din Tank Pressure Checker
Rating: XS-Scuba-Deluxe-Yoke-Din-Tank-Pressure-Checker- 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.

Scuba Dive Flag And Float
Rating: Scuba-Dive-Flag-And-Float 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.

Innovative Dive Slate
Rating: Innovative-Dive-Slate 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.

Underwater Kinetics Blue Tang Hydralloy Knife
Rating: Underwater-Kinetics-Blue-Tang-Hydralloy-Knife 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.

Freestyle Hammerhead Watch
Rating: Freestyle-Hammerhead-Watch 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.

Innovative ´´Lobster Inn´´ Game Bag

XS Scuba Safety Sausage (SMB)
Rating: XS-Scuba-Safety-Sausage--SMB 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.

Innovative Flag & Float (2 Parts)
Rating: Innovative-Flag-Float-2-Parts 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.

Innovative Stainless Steel Carabiner Coil Lanyard
Rating: Innovative-Stainless-Steel-Carabiner-Coil-Lanyard Everthing I Expected 4/9/2007

Princeton Tec Adventure Light Pack
Rating: Princeton-Tec-Adventure-Light-Pack 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.
