Mares Raptor Adjustable Strap Split Fins
Rating: Awesome fins for smooth snorkeling/diving 11/25/2009

I just got back from the Bahamas where I gave these fins a good workout diving and on 5-7 swells. I had no idea that the split fins would provide so much extra "oomph" with the same or less effort. I also appreciated the quick release latches on the side which made putting them on and off without requirement readjustment a snap.

Scuba Mask, Fin & Snorkel Backpack Bag
Rating: Snorkelers friend 6/5/2009

This backpack is great for carrying everything you need for snorkeling in one handy and comfortable pack. The only minor improvement Id recommend is that the goggles pocket be larger and firmer so as not to distort the flexible rim of the mask.

Mares Avanti Superchannel Full Foot Fins
Rating: Swimming like flipper 6/5/2009

These fins are the most comfortable Ive ever experienced. Plus, while not an expert, I believe the superchannels do provide extra boost.

Mares 2mm Low Top Medium Sole Equator Boots
Rating: Yo! Feet! Get a Grip! Great product and great service 2/23/2009

I wear a 11 1/2 shoe normally. Since these dont come in 1/2 size, I ordered a 12. The larger size was too big but Scuba.com was quick to send me a size 11 I ordered and quickly refunded the money for the original purchase. I recommend ordering down to the smaller size if youre a half-size wearer as I am.

Mares 2mm Low Top Medium Sole Equator Boots
Rating: Great features over and under the water 2/23/2009

The DC800 is a full-function digital camera with a broad spectrum of features that support great photography in and out of the water. Now if I can get the fish to say "Cheese" instead of "Worm" Ill be in great shape!

Sealife Float Strap
Rating: Float Strap Comfort & Safety 2/23/2009

This float camera strap is comfortable to wear around the wrist and allows use of the hand with the safety of knowing letting it go doesnt mean letting it go to the bottom of the ocean. Great product.
