Technisub Marina

Crisis over.

I emailed Aqualung and they sent me a new mask buckle for free. Now I have my favorite mask back again and life is good. It's still too bad I didn't have it for my vacation last month, but at least I'll be set for the winter.

Aqulaung/Technisub should really throw an extra buckle, or two, in every mask box because this will not be an isolated incident- and at $120 US for the new version they can easily afford to do so!

Great news Jon. Mine's holding up so far. Salmon are in over at my alternate dive site. They are in shallow water. Had to add weight and use bi-fins (yech!) then lurk in the weeds for 2 plus minutes on 3/4 lungfull waiting for them to come in and trying to get my camera to focus through all the haze. (PB for most dives over 2 minutes - 7 - also longest @2'34) Mostly crap pictures though.

Tried an Atomic Frameless - got the medium - skirt is a little too small. Field of view is no better than the matrix - fairly bulky for monofinning. Very well made and comfy - comes with a highly stylish box. Didn't see much advantage so I sent it back for exchange at LP - should be to your benefit sometime soon.
