Scuba Gear Reviews by Shawn Lonsfjord

Princeton Tec Torrent 3 Watt L.E.D. Light
Rating: good flashlight 6/11/2008

nice flashlight! a bright, well-concentrated beam, makes this a good mid-range & pocketable light. special points to the thumb-switch: easy to use & flood-proof.

Sherwood 2 Gauge Console with Max Depth Indicator
Rating: diver friendly 6/11/2008

In my opinion, this gauge has the best & friendliest display of any currently on the market: the colors, size, graphics, & satellite face displays all add up to make this the prefect, easy-to-read analog dive reference.

Underwater Kinetics HID Light Cannon 100
Rating: a beacon in a dark world 6/11/2008

this baby really works well! i had a good beam concentration when descending, & the illumination is a+. the included diffusion filters helped for video/photo shots. the pistol gip is adjustable to balance the weight, & it feels good in the hand. the only caveat to a 5-star rating is the on/off switch: it was loose and wouldnt turn on the light when it arrived. i adjusted it as best as possible & it now works ok but at this price, i would like the factory switch installment to be flawless.

XS Scuba Seaair Tri-Metal Regulator
Rating: Good reg 6/11/2008

I was pleased with the easy draw of the Seaair Tri. My air consumption noticeably lowered with its use. I noticed no free-flow in 6 daays of diving. The flow adjustment is a nice addition, although I really felt no need to either restrict or increase the airflow setting on dives down to 135". I did play with it though & found it worked adequately. I would highly recommend this set-up.

Body Glove 2mm Fusion Shorts
Rating: Recommended 10/11/2007

Nicely made. Good coverage over the thigh & on the lower back, with a well made & comfortable seal. At 61" & 185 lbs., I found them only slightly too ample in volume, but very comfortable, with room to pull over board shorts if needed. Dries moderately quickly, though not unusually so...
