Bought for extra warmth under boots and they certainly do that without making boots that fit too tight. Although the sox are just tubes, they stretch to fit perfectly.

Boots have come a long way over the years and these are no exception. Handy features include a guide to keep the strap on open heel fins in place and a strap on the back to help pull them on.

I have the same fins in full foot and needed open heal so looked no further.

I bought this to wear under the Pinnacle semi-dry for extra warmth (am yet to test it under that suit). I have used it by itself as a test in the Caribbean and it is comfortable, and very warm. I bought it based on the sizing chart and it fits width ways but is a little too long.

This came free with a wetsuit as I would definitely not pay $50 for a coat hanger (or so I thought)! But, despite my scepticism, it is made by a good brand, seems solid and the fan and cord set-up seems surprisingly robust. The air pressure through the wetsuit can be felt on the arm and leg holes.

I wanted the best semi-dry with attached hood I could buy for diving in 55 degree water and this was what I settled on. Yet to test in the water, but my opinion so far is very good. The lining is comfortable and not scratchy. Seems appear well done with a circular patch glued where 3 seems meet (note though that the seems and stitching are not glued-over for extra water-proofing - perhaps not required). Torso is made from large pieces, rather than smaller pieces cut to be more form fitting as is done on my Oneill suit. I also opted for the merino torso heater to be sure Ill be warm.

Bought for carrying wide angle camera lens and diffuser, and a perfect size for that. Lots of velcro on the flap which is secure but makes it a little difficult to open.

The best accessory pockets allude me, but this is a good addition to my collection to choose from.

Once inflated, seems very good. A bit of a fiddle to inflate however - either by mouth, removing BC inflator hose and manually pressing onto the SMB, or by regulator purge from the base (which also pushes water into the SMB which is difficult to remove). Storage of light stick and mirror is a space saving idea. I removed the whistle to save more space as I carry one on my BC. Based on my research seemed to be the best colour and size combination.

There is no pressure quage nor on/off release. Will need to press onto valve, then take off and check pressure with another quage, then repeat until the correct pressure is achieved.

Check what type of cards you want a case for - there are (so I have since discovered) lots of types of little camera cards and the 0900 range of pelican cases are specific to the card type. We bought 0920 but this case is not for SD cards which we have. Otherwise, as with all pelican cases, great quality and Scuba.com has a very competitive price.

Good collection for the price. I wanted something of better quality (eg stainless steel tools), but this was the best I could find.
