Aeris 5 Oceans BioFlex Scuba BC
Rating: good fit in smaller BC 3/2/2010

This BC is lighter weight and smaller in size than my old one, but worked fine. I believe it is easier to put on than most and allowed me to get buoyant easier because the inflated air all goes to your back. I did have some problems floating on ascent initially, since all the air is in the back and this tends to push you forward, but I got used to this difference and adjusted for it without problems.

Aeris 5 Oceans BioFlex Scuba BC
Rating: shorter fin 3/2/2010

these fins are shorter than most but designed to be very water dynamic. I noticed it was easier to get around coral and through caves, etc. without hitting anything. I had no problem keeping up so I feel this design helps with shorter fins for travel and packing.

Oceanic GT3/CDX5 Scuba Regulator
Rating: better breathing 3/2/2010

Immediately after purchasing his regulator I went diving for a week in Cozumel. On the first dive I noticed this regulator effortlessly allowed me to breath without having to breath deeper than usual. I was able to stay under longer and enjoy my dive without regard to breathing. My dive buddies were surprised how long I could stay under and without holding my breath or feeling out of air. I am sure this new unit really will help me enjoy my diving better
