need help from someone who speaks Spanish/Portugese

[Lil Dragonfly]

I have scoured the internet for dive gear made from Brazilian wild rubber, to no avail. But it suddenly occured to me that the sites could be in another language.

Can someone please help me search for snorkels, masks, weight belts, monofins, you name it?

I was going to produce them myself. But if it already exists, no need to reinvent the wheel.

P.S. I will contact the companies regarding English translations, hopefully they will get more hits that way. And, I have an advertising trick up my sleeve.

Did you not see my response to your thread entitled "best rubber fins"? I have copied it below.

I know of only one manufacturer of fins made from Brazilian natural rubber: Cobra sub. This Brazilian company produces two models of fins, one medium-bladed, the other shorter-bladed:

Spinta

You might try Google Translator. It works really well. Copy in the language you want translated and then pick the language that you want to read.
You might also change your search verbage to Brazilian Natural Rubber. Wild has no connection to rubber in this context anyway.

Good advice about Google Translate.

To get you started, the Portuguese - Brazil's national language - for natural rubber is borracha natural, as you can see from the Portuguese and English captions to the images of Cobra sub Brazilian natural rubber fins in my previous message. Borracha natural da Amazonia may also be a worthwhile search term because it defines a Brazilian Amazon Rain Forest source of natural rubber.
