BARE’s new SB SYSTEM Drysuit is the world’s first STRETCH BREATHABLE drysuit.

60 Second Scubalab - IST ProEar ME80 Mask

IST’s ProEar ME-80 is a dual-lens mask with a crystal-clear silicone skirt. But what makes the ProEar ME-80 unique is its pair of ear pods that provide a watertight fit over each ear.

IST’s camo wetsuit blends into any underwater hunting terrain with its choice of blue or green camouflage pattern.

60 Second Scubalab - Cressi Lontra Wetsuit

Cressi’s Lontra wetsuit is a versatile suit with an attractive design.

60 Second Scubalab - Cressi Ellipse MC9 Balanced Non-Adjustable Regulator

The new Ellipse MC9 Balanced Non-Adjustable regulator has the same high-performance features of the Ellipse Balanced, but without the Second stage micrometric adjustment knob.

60 Second Scubalab - Aqua Lung Airsource 3

When used as a safe second, Aqua Lung’s Air Source 3 inflator reg breathes smoother than many primary regs. And when used as a power inflator, it delivers total ascent control.
