Is this gear any good, or is it just cheap rubbish??

I always carry one of their LED torches in my BCD as a spare - been there 3 years and it's still fully operational.. I think I've also got one of their SMBs (on a reel with a bit more than 4.5 mm of rope!) and one of their mesh bags. Worth a look.

Some bits are OK, others less so. A 3mm wetsuit for £30. If it lasts ONE week's diving somewhere tropical, it's cheaper than hiring a suit for a week. Must be worth considering. OTOH my £70 3mm JAG suit's been fine for 6 yrs at 1 - 2 x weeks per year, so even better! Go down, have a look, see what you think. I have a feww pieces from them in my kit over the years. Some stuff's not survived, other bits are fine. Ken
