Scuba Gear Reviews by John David Whalen

Sherwood Maximus Regulator
Rating: Breathes well. 12/11/2007

Really like the under arm feature and adjustable features. Breathes well, but seems to weigh down on the connecting side of the reg and pulls a bit. Looking for a solution to stabilize it so it sits in front of my face more easily.

Mares 6.5mm Trilastic Isotherm Semi-Dry Jumpsuit
Rating: Kept very dry and warm 12/11/2007

In Northern California in November in 52 degrees water and kept very warm. It really must fit well, maybe even a bit too snug on the surface to work properly though. Its not too hard to get into, but you need two people to zip up. Nice alternative to the expensive and maintenance intensive dry suits.

XS Scuba Fusion 3-Window Mask
Rating: Nice Feature 10/12/2007

really like the purge feature. Totally unecessary, but nice if you have to buy a mask.

Zeagle Scout BC
Rating: Great BC!!! 10/12/2007

Great BC! You have to be the right frame. Its a smaller cut, so if you arent it wont be the best BC for you. All in all though, its simple design is for more advanced divers on a budget.

This knife rusted on the first dive in the water before I even surfaced. Dont both with stainless, just get a titanium knife.

Mares 5/4/3mm Trilastic Superstretch Jumpsuit
Rating: Great Wetsuit 9/25/2007

If you have the build to fit Mares, it gives a great custom fit right off the rack.
