I've bought 4 other slates with every gimmick included and this is the last I'll ever need. Love that you can use one of the flaps as a cover if you want to keep the notes on the inside safe. The surface and big graphite pencil are very smooth. We used it for a wreck certification that required a lot of sketching and my husband logged 18 dives with details on his over Christmas so he could add to his log book later. A Mr. Clean Sponge is a quick and easy way to clean it up and start fresh.
Convenient size, several surfaces, pencil that works

I like it because it's small enough to fit in my dry suit pocket, it has multiple surfaces and the pencil really works. Some other slates come with a regular pencil and they don't write very well in the water - light and hard to read. This has a big stick of graphite and it writes well. Multiple surfaces are nice because I tend to write sloppy underwater so I can flip to a fresh page each time I need it so I'm sure my buddy is reading the current message.
This compact 5 x 6.25" (12.7 x 15.9cm) Super Pencil Multi Page Slate will fit into most BCD pockets, yet has plenty of room for taking notes, conversing with your dive buddy, or writing down skill performance when training. Whatever your writing needs are this slate can get it done. Super Pencil Slate comes with a super pencil, unlike more conventional dive slates the super pencil has replaceable lead, so once you use it up you can get a refill for years of continues use (see SKU: AQUSPSRP). Slate is also equipped with a corrosion resistant locking gate clip, nylon webbing loop for easy secure to your equipment and protective pencil tube for storage of the super pencil.

What size is it when the two pages are open is it then 10 x 12-1/2 when open?
STEPHEN W
No, its about 10 x 6 1/4
GEOFFREY R
Overall, it is 10 3/4" when opened fully. You get about 10" of writeable space as the pencil holder is about 3/4".

When it is open the size is 10 x 6-1/4. But the turnable page locks shut on either side of the main page. So, you do not have to keep it open. This give you four surfaces to write on.
TIM W
It's 6 3/4" high x 10 " when opened, you have four area's to write on 6x5 or two 6x10 front &back

When open tablet is 10inch wide by 7 high. The included pencil is excellent, also the coiled retainer is nice. I bought 6 tablets so far, this is one of the top two I own. I prefer the one that allows you to hook up to a retractor....this one is fixed. If my eyes were better I would not need to hold so far away from my face, otherwise excellent slate.

How many pages does it come with? Can you buy additional pages?
Thanks for your time . Barb.

It has 2 pages, front and back to each. It doesn't appear as though you can add any pages. Although the quality seems good on this item, I don't use it very much because it does not fit in my bcd pocket.

The slate comes with a total of four writing surfaces. Basically, its two pieces of plastic hinged in the middle. It doesn't allow you to add any additional writing surfaces. My only cons with it are you need slate cleaner to erase what ever you wrote on it (toothpaste works also) and its size. I very seldom use it let alone have a need for all four surfaces. Hope this helps ... john

2 pages 4 front and back. It is hard plastic so you cant add pages but the mr clean magic erasers work under water but ive never had to clean the slate underwater there is lots of space
WESLEY K
There are four surfaces to write on. No, you cannot add pages. There is plenty of area for notes and drawings.
MILTON W
It has 2 pages with a front and a back for writing so that gives you 4 writing surfaces
JOHN W
It essentially has two pages. As pictured, it opens up with a cover that snaps into place when not being utilized. You have 4 writing surfaces - front and back of open cover, front and back of the main slate.
