Tusa Imprex Fins

Advantages: Good design
Disadvantages: Stickey Valves

...I have been trying out the Tusa TR 400 Imperex for two weeks now. I have found it to be very good regulator. The valves seem to be of good quality. At first it worked perfectly and I thought I would never use another regulator. However on my fith dive with the Tusa TR 400 Imperex. As I reached the 40 meter mark the regulator got stuck in the open possition and was squerting out air. When I reached the surface and took the regulator to a reputable dive centre they informed me that the problem was that Tusa had fitted a faulty valve. He fixed the problem and the regulator has been fine since then. I don't think it's a common problem so I wouldn't worry about it. The Specifiacations are as follows:- 1st Stage Light weight 620g (21.9oz/1.37lb) inline balanced piston (PAT.) first-stage. Two H.P. ports and four L.P. ports. 2nd... Read review

Advantages: Best fins i have ever used
Disadvantages: Very plain looking, everyone has them

...People in the diving world will know about the Oceanic split fin craze, for divers that have use the V12 fins they will know how good they are and all the other divers that haven't used them want too lol. The thing that makes these fins so good is the split in them; non divers might think how can you move yourself along underwater if you have a big split in your fins. Well the answer is better than you can if you don't have a split in your fins. The Oceanic Vortex V12 fins make moving through the water allot easier than with normal fins because for some reason you use less energy and travel faster too (I have no idea how this works it just does lol, take my word for it) I got my fins from my local dive shop for £80 because I was sick of my old Cressi fins Looks: The Vortex V12's come in one colour, black so they look pretty plain, which...

Advantages: Very strong, powerful, good buckle system
Disadvantages: price (although can't complain too much!)

...These fins are among the best I've used - at the moment I prefer the conventional fin design: but I'm slowly investigating the side of twin channel models. The Plana Avanti Quattro fins are very durable - mine have been through a lot and they still look new, rather than the numerous pairs of fins which look like they've just been discovered in a glacial deposit after a couple of dives! Propulsion is brilliant (thanks to their "4 channel design") and they present far less stress on the legs than other models I've tried. The ABS buckle system is great - it endures easy donning of fins (simply slip the strap over the heel and click both sides) - the lock on the side has meant that I have not once had to chase after a fin that decided it wanted to abandon me: and yet they are the easiest fins to take off after a dive... unclip the buckle...
