Hot New Scuba Gear - A Quick Review from ScubaLab
Jon WittleThis dive mask is comfortable, adjustable, and compact.
Cressi Air Crystal Mask
Price: $109.95
Your window to the ocean world never looked this good — or felt this comfortable. Ultra-soft, adjustable and compact, the dual-lens Air Crystal is designed to fit a number of face types.
Jon WittleThis scuba diving fin is great for any kicking style.
Oceanic Viper Fin
Price: $39.95
The highly responsive Vipers offer power, speed and efficiency in any kicking style. These fins were built with hydrodynamics in mind, with channels and side rails that direct water flow off the tips of the fin without allowing water to spill from the sides of the blade. And the easy-adjust buckles are a dream.

Citizen Promaster Professional Diver
Price: $795
The rugged Promaster Professional Diver watch has a stainless-steel case protected by a diamond-like coating that can withstand a lot of wear and tear. It features a one-way rotating elapsed-time bezel, helium release, and luminous hands and markers so you can still read it in low light or bad viz. It’s powered by light, and it never needs a battery.
Jon WittleThese boots allow water to drain out without having to take them off.
Akona Seco Boots
Price: $58, 6.5 MM; $52, 3 MM
When the water’s cold, you’ll appreciate the 6.5 mm version of these sturdy boots (also available in 3 mm). What you’ll really love is the unique foot bed and sole that permit water to drain when your bottom time is up.
