Halon Corsair Diving Tool
This serious dive tool uses a modular, interchangeable design so divers have a system that’s easy to use, no matter the environment. The knife offers a choice of a sharp drop-point or blunt-tip blade made from a hardened stainless steel alloy, making it durable and rust-resistant.
Seasoft Sunray and Stealth Booties
Seasoft’s Stealth and Sunray booties are built with a hard sole that keeps a diver’s feet from moving up and down inside the foot pocket of their fins, one of a diver’s biggest causes of cramps. The booties are manufactured just like athletic shoes with a well-designed elevated heel and arch support.

Tusa BCJ-1800 Voyager BC
Warm-water divers will appreciate TUSA's lightweight and compact Voyager for its packability and performance. Weighing in at just 4.4 pounds, the BCJ 1800 Voyager is the perfect option for jet-setting divers who want a light, compact BC that performs like a heavyweight champ.
SeaSoft SeaLion BC
The SeaLion BC from SeaSoft comes in just four sizes. But that doesn’t mean it fits just four sizes of divers. With the SeaLion, a diver can actually keep the same-sized BC for a lifetime. For example, the extra-small SeaLion will fit a typical 10-year-old who weighs about 50 pounds, but will then adjust to fit an adult up to 180 pounds.

How To Buy a Mask That Fits
When choosing a mask, three sets of criteria are critically important: fit, fit and fit. As no two faces are alike, proper mask fitting needs to be a careful undertaking. Bring your regulator and snorkel on your shopping trip because these can affect the mask’s seal.

Cressi Beta Sigma Snorkels
The Beta semi-dry snorkel from Cressi has a large-bore tube that allows lots of airflow while you’re enjoying the scenery just below the surface. The profiled splash guard deflects water away from the top of the tube when swimming in choppy seas; water that does manage to find its way in is easily expelled through the lower purge valve.
Cressi Supernova
The Supernova Dry snorkel from Cressi uses a 100 percent silicone mouthpiece and a corrugated breathing tube, and comes with a large, easy-to-clear purge valve on the bottom, and a completely dry top on the other end. It’s the perfect design in a snorkel, allowing for effortless breathing performance when cruising along on the surface, plus it eliminates virtually all water from entering the tube when submerged. 
Scuba Diving Magazine
Seasoft’s frameless Visionmaster Super Mask features lenses made of H-G-G glass with Crystal ARC anti-reflective coatings that virtually eliminate glare. HGG glass and Crystal ARC coatings are found on the optics of leading riflescopes and camera lenses and allow up to 20% more light to reach your eyes.
IST 3-D Flex Dry Snorkel
Here’s something you don’t usually see on a snorkel: ball-joint connections. On IST Sports’ 3-D Flex Dry Snorkel you have two of them: one at the base of the mouthpiece, and one where the purge body connects to the breathing tube.

At BARE we understand that a truly memorable dive experience is one to remember because of the dive, not the equipment. That’s why we developed the SB SYSTEM. It’s a combination of 3 lightweight layers that provide STRETCH and BREATHABILITY, enhancing your overall comfort level so you can enjoy the real adventure underwater.

Waterproof’s exclusive integrated silicone neck and silicone wrist seals are both comfortable and make for easy donning. With its unique design, the D1 Hybrid is a well-constructed suit that’s also easy on the budget.
Bare Drysuit Thumb
BARE’s new SB SYSTEM Drysuit is the world’s first STRETCH BREATHABLE drysuit. Its unique blend of fabrics provides 4-way stretch for a “next-to-skin” fit, and breathability for a balanced body temperature on the surface.

The SB SYSTEM Drysuit is a revolutionary performance inspired trilaminate constructed from a proprietary blend of fabrics exclusive to BARE. This suit uses a special blend of material to deliver 4-way stretch for a “next-to-skin” fit and unparalleled freedom of movement, and BREATHABILITY to exhaust trapped humidity, keeping you warmer and drier throughout the dive and on the surface.
