Surely diving hoses can not be warranted a review - what's cool or interesting or safer about a specific brand of hose? Welcome to Miflex Xstreme diving hoses - these beat your old hoses in weight, flexibility, strength, versatility and looks. Need we say more to entice you to read the review? :-)

This little fellow gets top marks without even going into the water: A streamlined design to go perfectly on the harness shoulder band. Runs on three standard AA (Mignon) batteries. Outputs a beam of light that rivals my car headlights (halogen), and costs 160 Euro. So far there are only two "issues": Former "backup lamps" are feeling sad, and you might have a harder time convincing yourself you need a "main torch" after seeing this torch in action...

Increase your chances of quickly locating your dive buddy or getting seen by a boat at dusk or night time with a Personal Strobe Light. Stay away from skimpy LED flashers, and get a real thing that works. Check out the Jotron AQ-4.

A classic. A work horse. Indestructible. Great for your trim. No ankle weights required. Cheapo. The best fin around? 

An incredible upgrade to your compact underwater camera - and it's "wet-mountable"!

Looking for a folding dive knife that cuts through almost anything like it was butter and does not rust? You may have found it. 

One of the best cold-water regulators on the market. A clever first stage design allows for cold water use without special anti-freeze caps or other temporary solutions. With this regulator, you are always diving with a "thermo-dynamic anti-freeze". Now even with integrated overpressure-valve in the first stage - i.e. any standard hose works with the X-Stream MK3!

Acid-proof stainless steel that's been both sand-blasted and glass-blasted. Made in Sweden. Tough gear that's probably good enough to outlast the diver. Take a look at the AGIR-Brokk backplate and Blackbird wing in this little review.

Is this the simplest ever rescue device?

We take a closer look at the Rescue Streamer from... Rescue Streamer Technologies. Right then.

They are simple to deploy using the DIR/GUE way (using your exhaled air at depth) or by roughly pointing your second stage regulator purge exhaust into the lower part. Nearly indestructible, good value for money.

Excellent low-cost gear marking and safety stickers that don't come off (unless you want to). Increase your chance of rescue and survival and prevent confusion about gear markings.

Arguably one of the most controversial piece of dive equipment out there. People either love them or hate them. We take a closer look at the most expensive fins around, the Force Fin Excellerating TAN Delta.

A very nicely balanced knife with some issues in saltwater.
