Sherwood Retractable Dive Compass
Rating: Sherwood-Retractable-Compass Dont leave home without it! 4/4/2009

The compass works well, has a glowing dial for low light situations, and is always on my BC with the retractor. Much more convenient than having a wrist mounted compass, but YMMV. Do not clip anything else to the retractor wire: it is too small in caliber to be sure that another clip will stay on. I lost a small reference book that appeared to be clipped to the wire!

Sherwood Retractable Dive Compass
Rating: Sherwood-Retractable-Compass Sharp knife that stays clean 4/4/2009

The knife stayed corrosion free after a week of daily diving in Key Largo. No rust spots, and its nice and sharp. The sheath retains the knife positively, yet still allows easy removal. Great value!

Oceanic Alpha 8 Sport Scuba Regulator
Rating: Oceanic-Alpha-8-Sport-Scuba-Regulator Economical and easy to use. 4/4/2009

My son and I used these for a week of intensive diving in Key Largo, and these worked without a hitch. Breathing effort is comparable to other regulators in the price range.

Oceanic Alpha 8 Sport Scuba Regulator
Rating: Oceanic-Alpha-8-Sport-Scuba-Regulator Great intro computer 4/4/2009

It has all the features you need to dive safely and extend your bottom time safely. Works great, cost is reasonable. What else is there to say?

Oceanic Oceanpro Scuba BC
Rating: Oceanic-Oceanpro-Scuba-BC Great BC for the money! 4/4/2009

Both my son (13) and I own this BC and we find it comfortable and easy to use. The floatation is more than adequate, and it is comfortable to put on and remove. A few niggling points. The integrated weight pockets can fall out of their sleeves if you have too much weight in them (6 pounds is OK, 8 pounds is not), so if you have more than 12 pounds, put the extra weight into the velcro pockets on the side. The strap to hold the tank on needs to get "broken in" to the right length to hold tanks, so be careful the first couple of times you go out. The tank will have the tendency to slip out until the strap gets streched out and develops a bend in the place where it wraps over the buckle.
