My Spare or Loanable Dive Gear

Mares i3 Mask

• Has "side glass" to give a wider field of vision
• My first mask that I did much of my early training in

General Opinion: Works fine, but was not available for a prescription lense so I switched masks. I keep it around as a spare.

Aqualung Seawave Hood (7/4mm) - XL

• I used it when I was diving my 7mm. But I'd rather be diving dry when it's that cold.

General Opinion: No complaints. Easy to get on and off and keeps my head and ears toasty warm.

Aqualung Aleutian Gloves (5mm) - Large

• I'd rather wear the Bare Ultrawarm style of glove

General Opinion: They're not bad. Plenty of dexterity to do what I need under water. The stitching is not great after only 15 dives and I've had to apply a bit of wetsuit repair glue along some of the stitching as a preventative measure. I keep them around in case a buddy forgets theirs or doesn't have any.

Spare 3-1/2 ft dSMB

• Dual-color Orange/Yellow

General Opinion: Perfect size for calm water deployment. Not too big and not too small. Have used it as a dive marker, a location marker and for dSMB deployment practice for safety stops. It does have a "push in" to inflate mouth piece which is a bit tricky to use under water. The Halcyon has a one way valve, so I prefer it.

Dive Right Bellows Thigh Pocket

• Dangles from your BCD waist band and straps around your thigh like a "gun slinger"

General Opinion: I've used it. It works just fine. It's a little awkward getting in/out of your BCD because you have to remember to open/close the thigh strap part. I keep it around in case someone wants to try out a thigh pocket when wearing a wetsuit but they don't want to commit to tech shorts or permanent glue on pockets for their wetsuit.

Stainless Steel Spools

• 75ft (green)
• 100ft (white)

General Opinion: So far used only for dive map mapping. But pre-rigged and ready to go. I prefer larger delrin spools instead.
