SELECTED DIVE (AND DIVE RELATED) PRODUCTS WITH GIRLS IN MIND

The greatest difficulty in properly sizing a woman's Buoyancy System is not finding a smaller size, or allowing for the bust, but lies in the fact that women's bodies have a defined waist where a waistband must fasten in order to secure the BC. At the same time, women tend to have both a shorter torso length and a lower center of buoyancy compared to men. So conventional buoyancy systems,which would ideally be worn lower for best balance and comfort, must be wornhigher, around the narrowest part of the waist, in order to be secure.

During a dive, we continue to release humidity. However, each intake of dry air from a tank deprives the lungs and body of moisture replenishment. This unnatural lack of humidity is very hard on your body. The most obvious result of the loss is dry throat and cottonmouth. ___________________________________________________________ |

UK AquaLite for GoPro and Other Cameras
Bring out the incredible underwater colors and intricate detail of marine life with the Aqualite™ Video. Fish and invertebrates hiding under ledges and holes often receive little ambient sunlight and require additional lighting for underwater videos to come to life. Lighting the foreground with daylight colored Aqualite illumination while allowing the delicate blues and greens of the open water background to fade into the depths can produce prize winning videos.
Those of you who are more experienced in underwater video will appreciate the fact that the Aqualite™ is so small that you can use two or more lights and still not be over weighted. A pair of Aqualites set at different brightness levels will add additional dimension and beauty to an underwater subject.
The Aqualite™ shown at right with a Canon™ camera and also with a GoPro HD Hero™.
Editor's Note: For filming around the world we used to carry huge lights to bring out vivid colors at depth. Now we can achieve the same result with a light that fits in my pocket. _____________________________________________________________ |

The Biolite keeps things simple with a clean, straightforward design that focuses on comfort and convenience. If your travel plans call for lightweight luggage, then the Biolite BC is definitely for you.

I like the big zippered pockets (I keep my pocket mask in one and my mirror and whistle in the other). The Biolite BC was truly designed with female divers in mind.
It is a good one to travel with for all my shoots these days when every pound I pack in my bag counts. I also used it in California waters and works well as a cold water BCD as well. |

I have been toying with the idea of hiring a Sherpa for quite some time now, but the Smart Gear Adventure Cart solved my problem in a more humanitarian way. It is unbelievable, but I can have all my scuba equipment, dry suit, camera stuff, tank and weight transferred from my car to the beach in one take. It is super sturdy yet compact. I will never go beach diving without it again! |

The three level of warmth adjustment is superb, as I normally get colder towards the end of the dives. http://www.heatedwetsuits.com

PASCAL-LECOCQ PAINTING
Pascal LECOCQ loves telling stories.The characters evolve in their natural but surrealistic environment in which the spectators dive: this achieves the magic. Be it a diver "bullfighting" a great white shark, a group of divers playing leapfrog, or basketball or even ballroom dancing we are amused but in the same time, we never doubt the dignity of the character portrayed. Pascal Lecocq "frogman" character quickly becomes as charming as, dare say, Charlie Chaplin "the little Tramp". The work of Pascal Lecocq reflects his humor, poetry, dreams and imagination.
Editor's Note: I love the way he shows the underwater world as he sees it. __________________________________________________________________ |
 |

Using the DryCASE elevated my fear of getting my iPhone wet. The DryCASE became my new best friend as I spend so much time in and around water.

PATHFINDER REBREATHER
It is the smaller sister to the Megalodon CCR from Innerspace Research. The Pathfinder is basically designed with a smaller womens frame in mind. Laura James took it out diving last weekend and it was "So small and light and perfect, about 37lbs, but with a 200+ foot depth rating and 3+ hrs on the scrubber canister it's not limiting for the mid range tech diver or advanced recreational diver," said Laura.
The small Pathfinder system is used primarily with one oxygen cylinder mounted on the unit. The diluent cylinder is mounted as a stage bottle to supply diluent, wing and bailout. The Pathfinder may be operated off of two out board supplies only, if desired. __________________________________________________________________ |
