My Scuba Diving Gear

Doubles Rig

MK25 AF DIN First Stage (two, for doubles use)
The MK25 first stage offers a machined, marine-grade chrome plated body and balanced composite/stainless steel piston that would make any diver proud. It demonstrates SCUBAPRO's dedication to quality and creating positive diving experiences. This first stage adapts to external pressure changes and comes standard with the Thermal Insulating System (TIS), which keeps your first stage from freezing up and malfunctioning in cold water conditions. The MK25 has two high-pressure ports and five low-pressure ports.

S600 Second Stage
Because of the S600's versatility, it can meet the diver's needs as frequently as the diver changes dive sites. The S600 is constructed of a chrome-plated brass and technopolymer valve housing, a linear air-balancing valve, and a top notch air-balancing system. This regulator's air-balanced linear-flow valve allows the diver to use less energy while breathing underwater; it makes breathing during a dive as simple as well, breathing in and out.

* LP Ports: 5
* HP Ports: 2
* Adjustable 2nd Stage: Yes
* Nitrox Compatible: Yes

ScubaPro Bubble Defelctor:

Scubapro engineers conceived this bubble deflector to channel all the exhaled air bubbles backwards. This extended exhaust T is favored by all underwater photographers, quiet divers and all those who must stay immobile underwater for long periods. It can be installed to R380, R390, S550, S600, G500., even underwater.

This fabulous piece of kit was only sold in the UK for a short time, but I managed to get ahold of two!

DESIGN & PERFORMANCE
Air balanced flow valve. Increases safety, fun and relaxation on every dive because it initiates airflow effortlessly and instantly on demand, independent of the tank pressure, in a controlled and natural manner.

ENVIRONMENT & ADJUSTMENTS
Precision molded, lightweight components and anti freeze materials. Improved corrosion resistance and cold water performance.
Diver adjustable VIVA. VIVA in the MAX position is a powerful breathing support. In conditions of cold water, strong current or buddy breathing, VIVA should be reduced to avoid free flow.

COMFORT
Large soft purge and oversized controls. Easy to find purge and oversized control functions facilitate handling even with thick cold water gloves. Compact size and lightweight materials. Increased comfort and reduced drag during the dive.
Orthodontic silicone mouthpiece.

Greg Flanagan first invented the metal backplate using aluminum in 1979 for North Florida cave divers. He realized that a back-mounted buoyancy system gives a diver natural balance in the water, due to the diver's center of gravity (tanks) being surrounded by the center of buoyancy (BC wings). Plus, the diver gains a clean chest area with room for gear attachment points on the harness. Bill Hogarth Main went on to popularize the backplate and harness and dive purists who follow the DIR philosophy have come to embrace what is known today as the "Hogarthian Rig." Dive Rite began manufacturing backplates for the public in 1984 and pioneered 11-inch on center bolt spacing creating an industry standard that is still followed today. Northeastern wreck divers adapted the concept and began using a stainless steel backplate; at six pounds in weight, it is ideal to counterbalance buoyancy characteristics of thick drysuit exposure protection. Eleven-inch on center holes accommodate standard double tank bolt kits. Holes along the perimeter of the plate allow for mounting lights, pony bottles, lift bags and other accessories. 2-inch slots permit diver's choice of crotch straps. Holes along the bottom are designed to fit screws for attaching lift bag sleeves or other accessories. Two-inch slots along the center allow single-tank divers to use cam straps without a single tank adaptor. All edges are deburred to eliminate sharp edges and prevent abrasion to harness webbing. Grade 304 stainless steel is passivated, which prevents oxidation.

Embraced by DIR purists who prefer a streamlined rig without buckles, chest strap or padding, the Hogarthian ("Hog") Harness is a clean, simple harness intended for use with hard metal backplates. MIL-SPEC polypropylene webbing provides strength, yet is soft and won't dig into the body. Harness is adjustable by cutting off excess webbing once diver has sized the harness to his body stature. Standard two-inch webbing allows for customization with a wide variety of pockets and accessories, depending on the needs and desires of the individual diver. Tubular webbing sleeves are included for all points where webbing comes into contact with the backplate to prevent abrasion. Includes marine-grade stainless steel hardware.

The 2" crotch strap is preferred by divers who use scooters (DPVs) for extended periods of time due to the added comfort the 2-inch width provides. Used for fastening a harness and backplate securely to a diver's body, the 2-inch crotch strap is used to reduce the likelihood of gear slipping upwards on the body in the water, resulting in the tank hitting the back of the head during a dive. Continuous piece of nylon webbing provides strength, yet is soft and won't dig into the body. Includes a neoprene sleeve to protect exposure suit from abrasion.

* Eleven feet of two-inch (50mm) polypropylene webbing rated at 2,900 lbs breaking strength.
* Marine Grade 316 stainless steel hardware is used throughout including: (4) D-rings, (1) bent D-ring on each shoulder strap, (2) waist D-rings (1) grommet and stainless steel belt buckle.
* Two-inch nylon webbing crotch strap has 2,800 lbs tensile strength and is 42-inches long.
* Stainless steel 304 welded scooter ring for attaching scooter leash.
* 6oz (170g)

TDL Extreme Submersible Pressure Gauge (Gauge-TDL-TECH SPG-L)

The TDL Extreme SPG is the most robust and simple pressure gauge on the market today. Manufactured to exacting standards for extreme diving conditions. The casing is chrome plated marine grade brass fitted with a tempered glass face that is o-ring sealed.

The new chrome plating allows the gauge to be used in both salt and fresh water and resists corrosion significantly better than the non-chromed versions found by other manufacturers.

The simple 0-5000 psi face design makes it easy to read the pressure in 100psi increments with 1000 psi major positions. Standard 7/16" male connector mates with all HP hoses.

Each gauge is shipped with a protective boot and sealing stem with viton o-rings.

Large Face is 2.5" across the face.

The Atomic Aquatics M1 (DIN)
Extreme Performance without compromise. First Stage Features The M1 has an expanded performance range to meet almost any diving condition imaginable, whether Recreational or Tech. Whether you're a recreational diver ready to extend your capabilities or an accomplished specialty diver, this regulator will fulfill virtually any need or diving scenario. The M1 is built on the same platform as the world acclaimed B1 and T1 regulators.

All of our first stages are compact, high performing flow-through piston designs with some very special features. We've developed a unique high pressure piston seal system that is leak-free, and self-lubricating. These features mean more reliability and less maintenance so you can spend more time enjoying your diving. These materials used are the finest available, either titanium, chrome plated brass or type 316 stainless steel.

Atomic M1 Second Stage

The Atomic Aquatics Second Stages are loaded with patented innovative features, exclusive only to Atomic Aquatics. The Automatic Flow Control ("AFC") is just one. High performance regulators are often unstable, prone to leaks and free flows. That's why manufacturers add knobs and switches to stabilize them. We do it automatically. The AFC is the first and only depth activated venturi control that automatically balances performance and stability. A computer designed airfoil inside the mouthpiece changes position with response to depth to maintain consistent, natural, and effortless breathing at all depths. No dials to turn or buttons to push, the regulator "tunes itself as you dive".

Another patented innovation is the Seat Saver Orifice. The Achilles Heel of all second stages is a small rubber valve seat on the poppet. In standard designs, this seat is pushed tight against a sharp edged orifice from the day it leaves the factory, eventually making a deep impression in the seat resulting in poor performance and annoying leaks. That's why sometimes your regulator is fine when you put it away and it leaks the next time you use it. Our orifice only contacts the seat when pressurized. When not in use, the orifice automatically retracts away from the seat just enough to prevent damage during storage. This dramatically increases service life and maintains "like new" performance.

The Mach V Wing from OxyCheq is the most streamlined wing in it's class on the market. Worried about drag? The new Mach V shares the same tough materials as the Signature Series wings, optimized for streamlining. This has been achieved by eliminating the cam strap slots which allow the wing to be only 33cm wide when fully inflated. based on a nominal back plate width of 26cm, that's only 3.5cm of wing protruding either side of the back plate. The Mach V has an extremely low profile. This wing requires a single tank adapter. The Mach V also features a new diagonal inflator with the inflator hose elbow is off center so it will not interfere with the first stage regulator.

Miflex Xtreme Diving Hoses

The XTREME high performance range of diving hoses has been developed in cooperation with expert divers for a superior in depth performance.

Innovative Safety Technology

A team of MIFLEX engineers analysed the weak points of traditional low-pressure diving hoses. The fruit of their research is the XTREME high performance range.

XTREME hoses feature an external nylon safety braiding designed to resist the snags and abrasions that divers can often encounter. The patent Pending XTREME double braiding also resists UV rays out of the water, thus extending the lifespan of the hose.

Unlike traditional hoses, the XTREME nylon safety braiding is not simply pushed over the hose fittings. Instead the braiding is tightly bound and fixed to the hose core by stainless steel or brass sleeves.

The result? Performance and durability in extreme situations.

You could tie an Xtreme hose in a knot and the air flow through the hose would remain continuous. Now that’s versatility!

XTREME hose production is carried out on automated assembly and testing line. Each and every XTREME hose is subject to more than 30 individual safety and specification checks. Any hose found not to meet the exacting MIFLEX standard is immediately scrapped.

An XTREME Performer

* An average lifespan 3x longer than traditional hoses.

* UWATEC is the only dive computer manufacturer in the world that accounts for the effect of increased workload on human physiology during a dive, and Galileo is the first dive computer to integrate a heart rate measurement into the workload calculation. Through this technology a more accurate estimate of workload is possible, and you get the most tailored no-stop and decompression stop calculations even under the most demanding circumstances.
* Complete navigational system with integrated digital compass and bearing memory, virtually unaffected by tilt. Ease and accuracy, all in one instrument.
* Galileo combines an extra large dot matrix display with a huge memory for unprecedented flexibility:
o View pictures and charts during the dive.
o Enjoy detail never before seen on a dive computer. Graphical charts let you review the dive profile at any time, including a complete list of deco stop times.
o Review the depth, temperature and heart rate profiles after the dive directly on Galileo's on-board logbook. Galileo stores the most recent 100 hours of dive information in 4-second sampling rate, which you can download to PC via the infrared port.
* Hoseless gas integrated computer: when used with a Smart transmitter you get tank pressure and true remaining bottom time (RBT) on the computer screen.
* Galileo can be reprogrammed through its infrared interface, meaning you can easily upgrade your computer with new functions and features downloaded from our website.
* Predictive Multi Gas algorithm: allowing you to enjoy the full benefits of high oxygen concentration mixes.

PERSONALISATION

See what you want, when you want, with Galileo’s extra large dot-matrix, available in 3 pre-configured screen display mode options:

The LIGHT display shows dive time, depth, tank pressure and no-stop information with digits that could not be any bigger.

The FULL display maximizes the information shown at once: depth, dive time, deco information, tank pressure, RBT, time of day, stopwatch, active MB (micro-bubble suppression) level, temperature, heart rate, maximum depth, average depth.

The CLASSIC display strikes the perfect balance between “clean & clear” and “super complete”. Depth, dive time, deco information, tank pressure, RBT and temperature are always displayed.

* All alarms and warnings are displayed in clear text in the language of your choice so you never misunderstand essential beeps while engrossed in the fascinations of the underwater world. Alarms cannot be turned off, but for warnings you have a choice of either only visual, only audible or both visual and audible.

Highland Millworks 1" Mini Tech Gauge

Technical divers carry a lot of bottles on a long or deep dive. Each bottle needs a submersible pressure gauge to measure the bottle contents. Highland Millworks has added a new twist to an old product; the pony bottle gauge. The new Highland Mini Tech Gauge has many features not found on previous mini gauges. First, the 1 inch diameter face of this gauge is completely clean; a pure white face dial with all black printing. There are no distracting and meaningless colors anywhere on this gauge face. The 500 PSI marks are far enough apart to allow you to make very accurate measures of cylinder pressure. Second, this gauge is designed to be mounted directly to a regulator high pressure port, or on the end of a high pressure hose using the included Highland hose adapter. This gives you the capability to use the gauge in the way that best fits your diving style and equipment configuration. The beautifully finished, chrome plated mini tech gauge is the real deal. Maybe it is time to manage your stage and decompression bottles in a different way, using the Highland Mini Tech Gauge.

Halcyon 6cf Argon Mounting Straps

Cold water, long bottom times, and/or helium-based mixes encourage divers to seek an alternative means to inflate their dry suit. The use of a secondary bottle filled with Argon is the most common method used to increase the insulation properties of thermal garments. Halcyon offers two time-tested methods, providing quick, secure, and lightweight mounting options for drysuit inflation sources.

* 6-cf mounting kit secures a small inflation bottle directly to the Halcyon backplate.
* OctoGrip strap securely holds the argon bottle to your single- or double-tank system.

In just a few years the X-Vision has become a benchmark in diving masks. This product's success derives from meticulous computer design and numerous optical tests. Thanks to its all-new design and innovative technical solutions, X-Vision offers a truly unprecedented field of vision, without limitations. These results have been confirmed by the many replicas and copies of the product.

* The central position of the eyes and the optimally angled windows provide the widest possible viewing angle in every direction.

* Quick-adjusting ergonomic buckles are positioned directly on the skirt, affording superior comfort and hydrodynamics during the dive, as well as improving the adherence of the skirt to the face. In addition, this technical solution makes it easier to store the mask inside a pocket of the BC.

* Minimal internal volume of just 90 cm³ and exceptionally light weight, at just 184g. A full array of corrective lenses is available to adapt the mask to your personal needs.

* With the introduction of the X Vision Mid Skirt, the same great visibility and stylish mask is available in a skirt for smaller faces.

"The Marsoop" mask strap is the newest patented invention in scuba mask protection. It works like a regular mask strap, but when you are finished diving the strap quickly turns inside out over and around the mask to become a protective mask case that FLOATS! No more hassle looking for your bulky case or worrying about your mask sinking. Made from soft nylon covered neoprene this new case and strap combination will float most every mask and snorkel combination. The strap will not pull or tangle your hair and is easy to adjust.

Features & Benefits

Adding synthetic material is a quick annd inexpensive method for stiffening a fin. The XT is produced in 100% rubber. Tests have proven that rubber will outperform any synthetic option.

* Increasing the durometer to 75° rather than changing base material creates a stiffer blade that retains a high degree of the comfort and performance of the original bio-fin pro.
* Higher durometer rubber provides the feel and weight of a more traditional fin
* Works as well or better than paddle fins with any choice of kicking style
* Split fin design allows for increased maximum speed and reduced fatigue
* Consistently rated as the fastest fin in the water
* Instant turning and pivoting on a dime
* Increased control and added leverage for technical divers
* Reduced air consumption
* Increased bottom time
* Color: metallic black

C-series Fins come with the added feature of a factory installed Stainless Steel Spring strap. The spring strap automatically adjusts as needed, will not break as easily as rubber, and is quicker to take on and off. Very useful when getting on and off a boat. The strap includes a heavy rubber bumper that acts as a comfort cushion against the heel and provides an oversized finger loop for sliding the strap on and off.

The ultimate Jet Fins made from high-quality rubber. The Jet Fin was original and still is the most popular fins for commercial and military use because of its very powerful propulsion. Considered the standard for power and durability since 1965.

* Proven vented design: Decreases drag on the upstroke; enhances thrust on the downstroke.
* Adjustable heel strap Secures strap for ease of pre-dive preparation.
* Multiple dirometer construction allowing blade to bend independently from foot pocket
* Robust Fin meets exacting technical diving standards for durability and alternate kicks
* High-quality Black Neoprene Rubber

Halcyon Streamline Overboard Discharge Valve (aka P-Valve)

Many divers credit Halcyon's streamline P-valve as being among their best equipment purchases; the enhanced comfort and peace of mind redefine one's diving experience.

Whether you are interested in a short, comfortable dive or face long decompression obligations, the Streamline P-valve can provide a new level of diving comfort. The Halcyon P-valve kit includes everything required for installation: P-valve with hose, installation/owners manual, adhesive, one catheter, a 2-oz. cleaning bottle, a wrench, and sandpaper.

Key Features of the Streamline P-Valve

* Unique cover allows easy operation, even with gloves
* Sleek design eliminates bulky connections
* Balance valve is incorporated into the solid Delrin body, eliminating the risk of infection from surrounding water
* Valves chosen to provide minimal backpressure, increasing comfort for female and male divers

Hood:

Henderson Gold Core 7mm Drysuit Hood

Stretchy, incredibly comfortable, short neck does not interfere with drysuit neck seal, drys fast. No silly bib to tuck in. The ideal drysuit hood, in my opinion, for waters 40 degrees (F) and above.

Drysuit divers need superior warmth, and the Arctic hood delivers with a contoured cut that fits easily over the neck A full 7mm hood is trimmed with a 5mm Gold Core bib for comfort and reduced water transfer. The Hybrid model uses Titanium Hyperstretch for a less restrictive fit and both designs include a flow vent to prevent ballooning. Cold Core lining dries nearly instantly.

Footwear:

Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars Shoes

Simple Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars high-top shoes are used as rock boots, to simplify fin sizing between wetsuit boots and drysuit boots. I only wear these when the dive will involve scrambling over rocks and I need the ankle support, though.

Tilos 7mm Titanium Hydro + Zip Boots

The perfect drysuit boot. Good mid height bootie, not too tall like many wetsuit booties (too tall for drysuits, that is). Very grippy sole, but small and contoured, so you easily fit the same fins worn when diving wet. Provides the perfect amount of squeeze to prevent too much air from entering feet.

Fourth Element Arctic Drysuit Undergarments

This Arctic Package includes the Arctic Top, Bottom, Socks, and bag.

EXTREME PERFORMANCE

The Arctic is one of the highest performance undersuits in scuba diving. Constructed using a unique combination of low volume, high insulation materials, the Arctic’s two layer structure creates a microclimate next to the skin, maximising the retention of body warmth during a dive.

Using high density fleece, the Arctic holds air next to the skin and wicks away moisture from suit leaks or perspiration to maintain a dry zone next to the skin. The outer layer is high stretch, abrasion resistant material, which will not interfere with the operation of auto dump valves, and will not cause air to be trapped.

FUNCTION

The Arctic will also continue to perform when wet. In situations even when a drysuit has flooded, the Arctic continues to provide thermal protection.

The suit is designed to maximise fit and performance, giving snug protection to the body, including the feet. Thumb loops prevent the sleeves riding up whilst donning the drysuit, and secure foot stirrups keep the leggings secure.

The Arctic is fully machine washable.

VERSATILITY

Suitable for wearing underneath neoprene or membrane drysuits, the Arctic, can be used in conjunction with the Xerotherm base layer to provide extra protection for the most extreme diving conditions. (link to layering system page)

Warm
Using a combination of fast wicking, high insulation fabrics, the Arctic creates a micro climate around the wearer, keeping the body dry and warm. A high density inner fleece provides superior insulation, with maximum comfort and wicking, whilst the outer layer, which has a water repellant finish, ensures a snug fit.

Gultex Photon Torpedo

Gulftex has taken 3 c-cell backup lights to a new level with several design enhancements, and unmatched reliability.

The "Photon Torpedo" has 50%+ greater wall thickness than competitive lights, making this the most durable backup light ever. And yes, it's machined from a solid rod of Delrin.

And OF COURSE we provide a DUAL O-RING seal to stop any flooding potential. Even better, we re-engineered the actuation mechanism so the light actually "turns on" when the bezel is screwed down, and "turns off" with a short twist (no need to turn and turn).

And with our lathe-cut knurling on the body, this is one light that you can really hang onto (even with gloves).

We also feature a full-diameter forward flange, that prevents the bezel from hanging up on deployment, and a smooth radius butt end for easy stowing

The brightness is "bright". It's somewhere between 0 and 100 lumens (there isn't an industry standard for these numbers so I'm not going to "claim" any).

It utilizes a high-flux LED emiter that is in the 3-5 watt range.

The emiter is driven through a voltage regulated circuit to help maintain a constant brightness and low power consumption.

The burn time is PLENTY. After 2-3 hours, I can't visually detect any dimming; maybe YOU can. After 137 hours (5 days, 17 hours) test lights were still bright enough to illuminate gauges. It is highly recommended to keep fresh batteries in your backup lights at all times.

Beam spread: Very narrow with soft surrounding light-spill. The random test-light exhibited a ~2.6 degree half-angle of divergence (5-6 degree total spread). The tight focus is achieved by utilizing a polished reflector rather than optics.

Halcyon Titanium Knife

Large, bulky knives are heavy and increase the risk of diver entanglement, particularly when attached to a diver's leg. Knives should be able to operate as tools and yet be small enough to stow out of the way until needed. The Halcyon titanium knife has line cutter and serrated edge along one side of the three-inch blade, with a total length of six inches. For convenient and proper storage of your knife, Halcyon offers a custom designed knife pocket. This heavy nylon pouch is designed for mounting on the Halcyon Secure Harness waist strap where it severely limits the risk of entanglement from fishing line, kelp, or navigational guidelines.

Features:

RF welded from Orange Urethane Coated Nylon. 1" Stainless Steel Dring for line attachment. Easily replaced 1/8 inch bungee Stow wrap. Oral Inflate only. Unique ultra low profile OPV. Tapered Design with SOLAS Tape at top.

Low volume (5lbs lift) easily fully inflates with less than one full breath. Tapered design reduces the mass at the top of the marker and concentrates the buoyancy at the bottom. This marker takes less weight to upright. Because less weight is required to upright the marker, and the buoyancy is greatest at the bottom, more of the marker remains above the surface of the water.

The unique single piece OPV allows inflation at depth, and permits the marker to be rolled into a very small package, easily carried in a pocket.

Inon D-2000 Underwater Strobe

The D-2000 is the culmination of an extensive R&D program and over one year of field-testing, and includes advanced new features and higher performance in the same compact lightweight body design, and with the same incredible durability and reliability as all Inon strobes.

Description:

Highly advanced new generation strobe with multiple flash modes, including S-TTL, 24-step External Auto, 13-step Manual & Nikonos TTL for film camera support. Light, compact body, with powerful 20 Guide Number (ISO 100, Air x 1 meter; GN=65/feet), 100 degree circular beam, shutter-linked manual ON, auto OFF focus/target light supporting auto and manual focus, advanced pre-flash cancel circuitry, compatible with INON “Clear Photo System.”
Fiber optic connection for reliability and compatibility.
The ideal strobe for point-and-shoot digital camera systems.

Features:

• Ultra Multimode - multiple flash exposure modes to suit many camera types and shooting styles.
• S-TTL: Automatic TTL first shot accurate exposure as simple as pressing the shutter button with digital cameras using a pre-flash. Easy operation for users wanting point-and-shoot convenience without setting camera and strobe controls. Compatible with most digital cameras having a pre-flash. Just set the camera to P Mode and "force flash", and the strobe to S-TTL and start shooting.
• External Auto: Just match the strobe's aperture value to the camera's and start shooting. If necessary, fine tune exposure with 24 steps of control. In “External Auto” the D-2000 itself automatically adjusts for correct flash output amount and “proper” exposure. Just set the strobe’s aperture to match the camera’s aperture value. It is not necessary to rely on the camera’s automatic flash adjustment control. With dual strobes, subtly vary light output to each strobe to freely control shadows according to your artistic intention.
• Manual: 13 steps of manual flash output control - the most of any strobe available. Controllable in 1/2EV increments, for high level professional quality lighting.
• Nikonos TTL: TTL support for film cameras having conventional Nikonos TTL circuitry, or those having conversion circuitry compliant with the Nikonos protocol.
• High Power: Guide Number 20 (ISO 100, Air x 1 meter; GN=65/feet). 30% brighter than predecessor D-180 strobe for more effective lighting at smaller apertures and of distant subjects.
• Wide Beam Angle: 100 degree circular beam fully covers 100 degree wide angle attachment lenses. Increased flash surface area of Twin "T" configured flash tubes (pdf 462K) gives softer lighting and 100 degree full frame coverage even if strobe head is tilted off axis relative to camera. Optional –0.5 Diffusers increase coverage to 110 degrees.
• Advanced Cancel Circuit (pdf 169K)In External Auto and Manual Modes when using pre-flash type cameras, the circuit reproduces the camera’s pre-flash, but at higher intensity for optimum underwater performance, faster internal strobe recycle time, quicker follow-up shots, and longer battery life.
• “Clear Photo System” (Patent Pending) reduces backscatter caused by light coming from the camera’s internal strobe illuminating suspended particles in front of the lens, enabling clearer, higher quality images.
  First, place a “Clear Photo Filter” over the camera’s internal flash. This filter blocks visible light, only allowing non-visible wavelengths to pass though. Accordingly, there is no visible light to illuminate the particles in front of the lens. The non-visible light is picked up by a fiber optic cable and relayed to the strobe, triggering a flash output. Clear Photo Film is included with INON “Optical D Cable/Cap Sets” available for various camera/housing systems.
• Integral shutter-linked manual ON, auto OFF Focus/Target Light with Single or Continuous modes to support auto or manual focusing and accurate strobe aiming.
• 1.8 second recycle time with 520 full power flashes per set of NiMH batteries. Uses commonly available AA Alkaline, Nicad, NiMH, Lithium and Oxyride batteries.
• Multi-function Diffuser System
  Increase beam angle from 100 to 110 degrees and soften light quality. Choose one of three different diffusers from –0.5, -1.5* or –3.0 light reduction. (*-1.5 diffuser currently in development)
  Besides standard White Diffuser, special Blue Diffuser is available to restore natural color in images taken with some Canon cameras that automatically compensate images with a red-yellow hue.
  A Red and Blue Focus Light Filter Set is included with each Diffuser. The Red Filter increases S-TTL precision and does not frighten shy subjects, making them easier to approach. The Blue Filter is for non-pre flash cameras to minimize effect of Focus Light in image.
• Connect to camera/housing systems with INON “Optical D Cable/Cap Set” fiber optic cables.

Inon UCL-165AD Close-up Lens

The UCL-165AD close-up lens has a 165mm focal length and makes high magnification close-up photography possible by shortening the close focus distance, allowing the photographer to get closer to the subject. Also, the lens is designed to work effectively both above and below water, allowing the photographer to capture macro subjects above water, and in wet or splash type environments.

Instead of a threaded mounting system, Inon “AD” series lenses have an “AD” bayonet mount for quick and secure “one touch” underwater attachment or removal. The UCL-165AD can be mounted to camera housings with an Inon AD Mount Base, sold separately. There are many AD Mount Bases available for specific housing models.

Features:

* 165mm focal length underwater attachment lens designed for optimum optical performance with consumer digicams having smaller diameter lens diameters.
* High magnification close-up photography possible by shortening the close focus distance, allowing the photographer to get closer to the subject. Also, the lens is designed to work effectively both above and below water, allowing the photographer to capture macro subjects above water, and in wet or splash type environments.
* Constructed of two plano-convex high quality optical glass elements in two groups. Compared to lenses using just one double-convex element, the UCL-165AD design and construction minimizes optical aberrations. Both elements are anti-reflection coated on the inside surfaces.
* Possible to stack multiple UCL-165AD lenses to allow for even higher magnification macro imaging, as each lens body has an AD Bayonet mount on the outside as well.

Inon -0.5 White Diffuser for D-2000

-0.5 white diffuser panel for D-2000, Z-220 and Z-220S strobes.

The strobe beam angle widens from a circular 100 degrees to 110 degrees and the quality of light and shadows become softer.

This diffuser is for use with the D-2000, in S-TTL and Manual; and the Z-220 and Z-220S strobes in Manual mode. This diffuser cannot be used effectively in External Auto mode with D-2000, D-180 and D-180S strobes. If you think you will be using External Auto mode with any of these strobes, please choose the "External Auto Compatible" versions of this diffuser.

Inon "AD" Bayonet Mount Lens Caddy

The Inon AD Mount Lens Caddy provides a place to store your wet mountable AD mount lenses securely and conveniently when not in use. It allows you to quickly switch between wide-angle and close-up lenses for more shooting flexibility without fumbling around trying to get your lens into or out of a BC pocket.

The caddy comes with two lens mounting rings, and the hardware to attach them to a strobe arm (ULCS or INON), or the INON Grip Handle. The caddy also comes with a single mount hardware kit if you only want to mount one side of the caddy.

Inon Optical D Cable/Cap W18 Set for Canon

Complete set including one fiber optic cable with cap and mounting fixtures for connecting INON D-2000Wn, D-2000W, D-2000, D-180, D-180S, Z-240, Z-220, Z-220F and Z-220S strobes to Olympus and Canon housings. Cap fits over strobe’s light sensor. Mounting fixtures attach directly to PT-015 and PT-026 housing diffuser panel. For DC-WP20 housing, the mounting fixtures fit to an Inon "M67 Mount Base DC" (sold separately). The high durability optical fiber plugs into one of two available insert holes. For dual strobe use just plug in another Optical D Cable (sold separately) into other hole.

The set includes INON Clear Photo System film, a visible light cut filter. Place the filter over the camera’s internal strobe to block all visible light when the strobe fires. With no visible light to illuminate particles between the camera and subject, backscatter is prevented. Also, no visible light from the internal strobe means no flare or ghosting from light reflecting inside the housing. The non-visible light passes through the film, transmits through the fiber optic and triggers the external strobe.

Set contains:

* One high durability coiled fiber optic cable for single strobe use.
For dual strobe use, an additional “Optical D Cable” (sold separately) is necessary.
* Cap to fit over D-2000Wn, D-2000W, D-2000, D-180, D-180S, Z-240, Z-220, Z-220F or Z-220S strobe’s light sensor.
* Mounting fixtures for attaching cable to housings.
* Two pieces of reusable Clear Photo System film.

Ultralight Control Systems Strobe Armature

An Ultralight arm generally consists of two arms segments and three clamps giving you the greatest flexibility. Videographers sometimes use just one arm segment and two clamps. They do not need the same amount of flexibility as a still photographer does.

The o-ring in the balls of the arms, base adapters, and strobe adapters eliminates the metal to metal contact. This allows a much more linear clamping force, allowing you to control the arm movement when used with small or large strobes even in varying current conditions.

The ball size of our arms and adapters is 1" or 25mm.

Double ball arm segments

• DB-03 - very short arm, look like small dumbells, used for macro photography
• DB-05 - short arm, used for macro photography

Clamps - These clamps are what holds the system together and gives it flexibility. Think of your own arms with the three joints and that is in essence what you have with your strobe arm

• AC-CSF - This new style clamp is constructed slightly different than the original clamp. This clamp allows 15 degrees side to side movement of the balls.

This Coil Lanyard secures my camera equipment to my shoulder D-rings for hands free entries and exits, and extends for ease of use during the dive, while keeping the equipment safe from accidental release.
