Anyone have used the PFI Noseclip?
Any difference from Paradisia? I was looking also for FIT noseclip but their online store seems to be "closed"

Try this link instead: Freediving Instructors International, FII, apnea
FIT just turned into FII a couple weeks ago and they are switching everything over to their new website. I have the Pradisia. I have no idea how good the new ones are. Jon

Frank.....It feels lighter and more compact than the other two. I use nose pads for all three but I'm using a half moon pad on one side only for the PFI clip and it is very comfortable.

I have all 3 nose clips and here's a quick run down from what I found. FIT/FII - 28.9g, Paradisia 21.5g, PFI - 9g. Paradisia and PFI opens a little wider than the FIT. Paradisia is smoother closing and adjusting compared to the other 2. Paradisia and FIT are very sturdy but the PFI is FLIMSY. Paradisia and FIT came assembled with pads and string. Surprisingly, PFI came unassembled (it takes some grunt to put it together) with 4 pads without glue or sticky side so you have to glue yourself and no string. Paradisia has leathery, suede-like thin pads, FIT/FII has thicker felt pads, and PFI thick kinda neoprene pads. All are pretty comfy. Paradisia is a little larger than the FIT/FII and the PFI is just tiny and much less drag. But the build and feel of the PFI is really weak compared to the sturdy build of the other 2, but it is also the least expensive, so.... All in all, Paradisia seems to be the best built because it is smoothest to adjust, but all work in the end of the day.

Thanks all for the input, I think I'll go for FIT/FII, because it's almost impossible to place an order to Latin America for Paradisia

Today I was going to order my noseclip but there is no FIT website, only this message
"We are truly sorry for this inconvenience but Freediving Instructors and Trainers has stopped to teach classes and to run any other business operations. For more information, please contact Martin Stepanek or Paul Kotik." Damn!! or is just that change of name?
