I bought a Scubapro Glide 2000 in 2000 ... funnily enough. It is now therefore 6 years old but literally as good as new. I've noticed other people in my club with Seacs that start to fall apart after a couple of years.

My scuabpro BC is up there with the light cannon competing for favourite piece of kit as far as i'm concerned.

... but i also love my regs, my spring fin clips, the no-wash Ti knife, the scubapro frameless mask (fantastic!) and the DUI drysuit. In fact, there's no point asking me about kit. I love all my kit.

The question is, what don't I like? ... hmmm

well, i once had a Mares mask that was a stinking piece of leaking sh!te. I've never really managed to get a pair of gloves that are good for winter (never tried dry gloves, and don't like 5mm neo). I'm rambling now.

I just bought a pair of 5mm neoprene gloves and tried them out on Sunday. My hands were the warmest they have ever been. Sometimes they were so cold I couldn't ecen undo my pinch clips.:D :D

Had a pair of dry gloves but they were so hard to put on I cut off the seals!!

As we will be in Oban this weekend, I think I'll be taking Bubblemaker to the Edinburgh Woolen Mill to get him kitted out. Maybe a matching set for Urchin :D

I don't do 'big green ones', even my mask gets a dainty wee 5p size of spit, non green as well:) :)
