Innovative Ez Spring Fin Strap (Pair)
Rating: Love using these spring straps! 8/14/2008

These are great spring straps, the only challenge is the sizing. I have a size 13 to 14 foot, have XL fins, but needed only the large spring strap (the XL was very loose). Keep in mind the sizing, small: 6", med: 7", lg: 8", XL: 9".

Henderson Hyperstretch Titanium Gloves
Rating: Great gloves 8/14/2008

I am very happy with the fit of these gloves. It is nice to have gloves that are easy to don and stay tight without velcro. I only wish these would dry quicker after a dive. The 7mm keeps my hands comfortable, from 70deg to 38deg water.

IST Double Hose Retainer Clip
Rating: Works exactly as expected 8/14/2008

This is a nice hose retainer clip. Easy to clip on the BC and make sure that youre hoses are where you want them to be. Not as compact as others but there are times where I will use both clips so it is nice to have.

H2O Snorkel Keeper Silicone
Rating: Keeps my snorkel in place 8/14/2008

After losing a snorkel once, I needed a snorkel keeper. Works exactly as one would expect it to.

McNett Ankle Weights
Rating: Good weights 8/14/2008

I use one of these to put on my tank valve to help distribute my weighting better. Works very well for this. The second weight I use as a spare when I find people Im diving with are underweight, nice to have a weight that can be attached at various places. One of them had the outer seams start to come apart, but the inner rubber tube is still intact and there is no risk of the weight emptying unless I cut the rubber. A good sturdy design.

Oceanic Ultra Dry Snorkel
Rating: Nice snorkel, works well 8/14/2008

Although I havent had much need to test the "ultra-dry" portion of the snorkel, I have used it for several surface swims and this is a nice, comfortable snorkel. The float valve at the top can be removed easily so this can be used as a standard snorkel if preferred.

Innovative Dive Slate
Rating: Basic slate, as expected 8/14/2008

This is a good basic slate as one would expect. Fairly similar size to standard PADI slates, although not exactly the same.
