SELECTED DIVE (AND DIVE RELATED) GEAR WITH GIRLS IN MIND
 |
OTS GUARDIAN FULL FACE MASK
A common problem with most FFM, is the seal. The lack of a good seal causes the diver to use air quicker and can interfere with the divers ability to hear if using underwater communications. The Guardian was designed with a double seal, allowing for the comfort of both small and large faces.
Equalizing system which helps fit virtually all noses. Variety of Colors are offered.
Editor's Note: I used it for over 30 dives, including cave and stunt dives and it prooved to fit nicely, gave good visibility and was easy to use. http://www.oceantechnologysystems.com/ __________________________________________________________________ |

NEPTUNIC SHARKSUIT
A sharksuit is a body-cover suit made of chainmail worn by scuba divers to protect against shark bite.
It is constructed of extremely tightly-woven steel rings covering a standard neoprene wetsuit. A shark bite will not be able to penetrate the rings, because the jaws will be shutting too slowly and the shark's muscles will not be able to cut the metal.
Editor's Note: I used one of these while shark diving in Grand Bahama and it prooved comfortable and protective. Once in the water, I did not even feel that an extra layer was over my wetsuit.
