Nose Clip's

[Pucko]

Bernard is a very gentle an nice man. I ´was unable to order a clip here in Sweden so when i went down to wisit my girlfriensd sisten in Menton in France i asked her if sh could phone Bernard an ask him where i could get a clip. He asked if we meet and how manny clips i needed (i only wanted one). So we aranged a meeting and i cot a clip. Then he asked mee if i was in too freediving and if we could go out to dive. The deepesr i made in CW erlier was only 10m but it was ok for him so after that my pb was 15,8m. He make the clips in sparetime so now i understand why they get out of stock som time.
I think he is a wery nice person and i hope to see him again.

Does anyone have any idea where to get good noseclips in Vancouver??? I'm also ordering some gear from LeisurePro.com, but I couldn't find noseclips on the site. Any ideas???

The best is using the above posted link to the store Au Vieux Plongeur. They often use to ship abroad and are in direct contact with Bernard, so in case they are low in stock, they'll get more from him.

I just ordered one from the link trux gives. Very easy with the help of a French to English dictionary. Cost me $47 Euro with about half the cost being postage to little out in the middle of the ocean New Zealand.
Why not license the manufacture of this product to different people in countries far removed from France? There is obviously the demand.

Trux, big help Au Viuex Plonger is the place to go it seems! I have now ordered one from Stepanek and 2 from Au Vieux Plongeur!

I had a clip years ago and it has been taken by the little people!!

I got mine from there too

My noseclip arrived today. I only ordered it just over a week ago so I would call that excellent and very speedy service.
What a great little piece of engineering it is too. Well done Bernard. Well done Au Vieux Plongeur.

Any feedback on Martin's FIT noseclips?

[Ol Dirty Diver]

Working great for me. Looks like it'll last forever.

[strauss]

Cheers.

Also; Which of the Aquashpere, Speedo, Eyeline and other 'swim' brand nose clips have you guys found to be reasonable?

I know they are weak, but for $5 they are worth a shot.

I've used a couple of swim clips (TYR and Speedo) for pool training, but they truly suck. I can't imagine trying to do anything remotely technical with one. My FIT clip should be in the mail soon.

[strauss]

Thanks. I'll skip getting one.

I tried to order a FIT one coupla days back. Out of stock!

[odd.i.c.]

You're right, darn! I guess I have to get something shipped from Europe!

Hello Everyone!

Have you guys tried to use a nose clip against a Sphera mask. Is it possible for a decent clip to properly close a nose with a mask put on? I just would like to avoid using swimming googles in a icy cold water because of problems with sinuses. Regular mask protects it from cold a little.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Regards,
Wojtek

If you use such a construction you will not be able do equalize your mask and you will get a barotrauma of your eyes. So be carefull.

I don't know, how deep you can dive without equalizing your mask. But I guess it wouldn't be deeper then 5-7 m.
