Used and Consignment Equipment

*  Sherwood has a new line of BCs that will be a great addition to their line.  Sherwood has a new air integrated dive computer called the Wisdom.  It measures dive time, depth, and air supply. It uses a reliable time proven algorithm to calculate and display remaining dive time based on established limits for nitrogen tension, oxygen exposure or cylinder pressure.   Wisdom gives you seven options for setting reminders/alarms for depth limits, decompression status, oxygen status, ascent rate and remaining breathing time.  This is in addition to alarms already in the computer.   The computer has a quick disconnect so you need only take the computer to your room to download information rather than taking the whole regulator set up.   For a small computer it has a large display for us more mature divers to read.  

image Sherwoods weight integrated BCs use the CQR system of releasing the pouches instead of using velcro which can pick up sand and debris causing the pouches to accidentally release.  This unique system makes the pockets easy to grab and release.   These work in one smooth motion, making it simple to hand weighs over at the end of a dive or to quickly ditch them in an emergency.   Because of the unique rear-attachment buckles the weights are suspended from the back of the BC downward for a more comfortable, stable dive.  
The Oracle and Titan are Sherwoods newest diving masks.  

Both mask are low profile and because of their design have excellent viewing capabilities. The Titan is designed for wide faces. The strap hookup allows you to disconnect the strap from the mask.

* We have also added a Tri-State Diving sweatshirt to our clothing line. 

* We are now handling Solar Tan Thru swim suits. These are nice to wear under your wet suit.The testing they have done with the suits shows that they outlast just about any suit on the market.  

* We have added two different styles of tank racks for your car or pickup to help keep the tanks stowed so they are not rolling around and banging into everything.  
 
* The NiteRider light systems are some of the most robust and durable lights on the market.  These systems are designed to handle the worse conditions, from SAR to wreck to cave, and extreme deep water conditions where visibility is at its worse.  No wonder it's the choice of the US Navy, resuce teams and commercial divers around the world.     
The new NiteRider HID Dive Light  is a 10 watt, 13.2 volt powerhouse equivalent to 40 watts of conventional light but with 6000 degree color temperature-closest to sunlight. This incredibly bright and penetrating light is perfect for all types of serious diving needs.  The four hour burn time provides plenty of time to get all the dives in you want in a day.  Comes with a 5 hr. International Smart Charger.                                                                                                          NiteRider Sea Torch is brightest in its' class.  Perfect for general use in dark silty water.  A good starter light  for the beginner diver and it is upgradeable to Sport or Pro Diver with additional kit.

* In 2007 Ocean Reef show cased two new full face mask and the response from the divers that have purchased the system or tried it on a dive say it is one of the best things that has happened to  diving.   We now have the SPACE and SPACE PREDATOR . The SPACE has a state-of-the-art integrated regulator, an improved visual field, and an integrated surface valve. The Neptune SPACE is specifically designed for professional and high performance applications and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. The Neptune SPACE PREDATOR is constructed with parts made of Anticorodal, a light weight and durable aluminum compound used in aeronautics for applications requiring high mechanical resistance. The front cover of the mask's intergrated regulator is made of laser-cut Anticorodal. This portion of the regulator has a light gold finish recalling the helmets of the first deep water divers. The adjustable knob, its external trim screw, the laser-cut ahd hand finished frame, and the six fast release buckles are all made of AISI 316 stainless steel.

* We have added a dry glove system to our cold water line. It is sure nice to keep the hands warm and dry and this also helps prevent water from channeling up the wrist when grabbing something underwater. 
 
* National Divers Mfg . is an accessory line that we are carrying in the dive center.  An underwater camera rated to 70 for a cost of $37.00 is a very good buy and they have some real neat beach towels.

* BayleySuit dry suit is one of the warmest and easist custom suit to dive in. With over  2100 dives, a good percentage of which are cold water and salvage dives, I have had an opportunity to use many different types of dry suits that are on the market.  I have been the most pleased with the BayleySuit because of the unique features the suit has.  Because I am in a higher age bracket, and do have some minor back problems I looked for a suit that needed the smallest amount of weight to dive.  With the BayleySuit  I use only 14 pounds, with all the undergarments, is all I  need to stay warm on the dive, which for some divers are only sweatpants and sweatshirt, some only wear shorts and a
T-shirt.  With the  commercial shell suit I owned before this suit, I needed 40 pounds and still didn’t stay as warm as when using the BayleySuit.  We have had some divers
comment, after trying the suit on an ice dive, that the suit was too warm for this environment.  The suits are a custom fit neoprene, so very little air is needed to prevent squeezes which keeps the weight load down.  The main disadvantage of a neoprene dry suit is the sewn seams where generally this is where a suit will first break down and leak.
The BayleySuit has no sewn seams and just like in any type of welding, if done right, the
seam or weld is the strongest part and therefore, no seams to leak.  The neoprene used in
the suit is the highest quality and strongest on the market.  I have used it on salvage dives where I am working around jagged metal and the material has held up to the use extremely well.  
The AquaStatic is designed with a horizontal waterproof zipper.  A Quad-Laminate utilitizing a membraine to boost the static holding power of the silver down.  A larger reservoir of static air is captured by quad-laminating together nylon, neoprene, membraine and silver down resulting in a much improved insulation over standard materials.

*In 2007 we added the O'NEILL wetsuit line and have been real happy with the selection and sizing they have available. They offer suits for all types of diving. The suits are very durable and handle the wear that our divers put on them..

* We have added more of the Deep See products  in our showroom including more styles of bags.  The Travel Loc 2000 is a good choice for the dive traveler as has a large carrying capacity and a hard shell with strong wheels for transporting your equipment around the airport and traveling to your hotel.                                                                                            


           
       
   


Deep See Mesh back pac has been a big favorite for divers as they can use this to haul their dive gear on the dive boat.  It doesn't take up the room, it is lighter and allows your gear to drain and dry faster.

* Re-Heater are a re-usable portable head pack which can be reused up to 250 times by placing in boiling water for a few minutes.  The Re-Heaters come in six different sizes and range in price from 10.95 to 54.95 per unit.
