H2O Alpha 2 Mask
Rating: Worked great 7/28/2008

I bought two of these, one for myself and one for my wife. Be both found them very comfortable. We had the lenses changed by scuba.com to match our normal glasses prescription, and the clarity was fantastic. The purged worked well, and sealed well too despite my usual problems from having a mustache.

Oceanic Vortex V-8 Adjustable Strap Fins
Rating: Worked well 7/10/2008

This is essentially the same review as I gave for the Aeris Velocity Duos, as these are identical to those. This pair was purchased for my wife at the recomendation of the salesman, who informed me that the sizes fit women better on this particular model. And he was right. My wife and I both agreed our fins. They seemed to work well, but this being my first experience diving I really dont have much to compare them too. However, I can say that they were extremely comfortable, and easy to adjust as well. You dont even need to look at them to snug them up, just give one of the adjustable straps a tug and they are perfect. Both sides of the strap have buckles so they are easy to snap off, again, this can be done underwater without having to look. Great.

H2O 3mm Low Top Medium Sole Boots
Rating: Comfortable and easy to put on 7/7/2008

I bought two pairs of these, one for my wife, one for myself, at the recomendation of the salesman Bob. We took them to out trip to Cozumel, along with our open back fins. The shoes slipped right on regardless of being wet or dry, fit comfortably, and kept our fins in place. And the sole was perfect for the rocky beaches of Cozumel, which could definitely do some damage if one were barefoot or wairing a shoe with a lesser sole. I would highly recommend these shoes.

Sherwood Absolute Dry Snorkel
Rating: Absolute & Perfect 7/7/2008

I recently bought two of these for my wife and I at the recomendation of "Bob," one of the salesman there who was an excellent help. We took them on our trip to Cozumel, and while not diving enjoyed snorkeling off of the beaches. They worked flawlessly. We were able to dive down and not have to clear the snorkel one bit. And when waves large enough to clear the top of the snorkel hit, you temporarily unable to draw air, and definitely not water, then continue breathing as normal. Excellent!
