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

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

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
