	Seac Sub Pro Tech SWS BC For the past few years, we have seen little Seac Sub equipment in the UK, which is a shame because some of the company’s products are ideally suited to the UK diver. - 29/11/09

	Cressi-sub Aqua Ride BC The problem with travel BCs is that they are designed to be as light as possible. - 17/8/09

	Beuchat Masterlift Voyager BC £300.28 The Masterlift Voyager BC from Beuchat is best described as a good all-rounder. It’s sturdy enough to be used for UK diving, easily accommodating a 15-litre steel cylinder with attached pony cylinder. - 14/5/09

	Buoyancy on a budget When it comes to dive equipment, a cheap product doesn’t always mean an inferior product. So if you’re after a decent BC but don’t want to go into the red, what can you get for your cash? Charles Hood checks out ten top BCs costing less than £250 - 16/3/09

	Seac Sub D-Synchro Ice regulator Weighing in at just over 1.1kg, the D-Synchro Ice (DIN 230 bar) is one of the latest additions to the lightweight regulator market - 30/11/09

	Abyss MR22/MR42T Extreme regulator package While most regulator manufacturers have, of late, been bringing out smaller and lighter valves aimed at the overseas traveller, Mares has gone back to its grass-root technology and released its latest version of the MR22 aimed at the cold-water diver. - 5/9/09

	A Reg for all divers This month’s test was carried out by a group of mad keen divers from HMS Seahawk. We presented them with 11 regulators, and asked them get diving and tell us what they thought… - 10/8/09

	Mares Abyss 22 Attractive and stylish with lots of metalwork incorporated into its design, the Abyss 22 is small and neat, but a tad heavy. - 10/8/09

	Test Zone: Cressi-Sub Atlantis versus O'Three 6X5S Twenty-one degrees Celsius is an annoying temperature for divers – especially if the topside weather is hot. Water at 21°C is generally too warm to wear a drysuit and too cold for a wetsuit - a dilemma. - 4/3/09

	If the suit fits… If you’re heading off to dive the planet’s more sun-kissed regions, you’ll probably require a warm-water wetsuit. But which of the multitude on the market is the best for your needs? Charles Hood kits up and puts them to the test - 3/11/08
