Combining a classic downstream valve with a large diaphragm and a center-case purge button, the R-195 comes with a large dive/pre-dive switch that helps prevent surface free-flows. The reversible hose attachment feature lets you use the R-195 as a primary second stage, an octo reg, or the perfect choice for deco tanks.

With its low work of breathing, surprising amount of reserve capacity and a solid track record for its in-water work, the SG500 is a proven performer.

This suit is among the best of the new crop of compressed neoprene drysuits. Bare’s new self-donning X-C-S-2 Tech Dry is made of two-mil hyper-compressed neoprene sandwiched between a tough nylon laminate on the outside and a high-stretch “frictionless” laminate on the inside.
Cressi’s Reaction adjustable fin has a long and relatively flexible blade that’s made from a new-generation technical polypropylene. This lightweight composite makes for a responsive fin throughout each phase of the kicking cycle.
You won’t find a more compact console-style air-integrated dive computer than Subgear’s X-P-H. Measuring just over two inches in diameter and weighing a featherlight five ounces, this single-gas data cruncher is an air-integrated dive computer that reads up to 4,350 psi in 10 psi increments.
Designed for cold-water divers, Thermalution’s Power-Heated Undersuit can be worn beneath any wetsuit. A thin, flexible heating element built into the nylon/lycra Undersuit lays against your back and radiates heat while you’re cruising the cold depths.

IST’s Fathom Blue is a powerful long-blade full-foot fin purpose-built for free diving. The foot pocket is made from 100 percent rubber, yet offers multiple densities to provide some areas with supple softness for comfort, and others with rigidity for maximum control, durability and spring.
