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. The air spaces inside these ear pods are connected to the air space inside the mask via a pair of equalization tubes.
IST’s camo wetsuit blends into any underwater hunting terrain with its choice of blue or green camouflage pattern. The one-piece, three-mil spearfishing wetsuit has elastic panels under the arms and along the lower back to enhance your range of movement.
Cressi’s Lontra wetsuit is a versatile suit with an attractive design. It’s 7mm ultraspan stretch neoprene keeps you warm when you’re exploring the reef, and the wrists are sealed with double cuffs to keep water out.
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. This allows Cressi to offer the same level of performance at a more affordable price. The non-adjustable Ellipse is an easy-breathing second stage, with an oversized diaphragm that decreases inhalation effort.
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. The Airsource 3 uses a screw-down fitting similar to the one used on a primary reg’s second stage.
