Whatever happened to the freediving suits Orca had released a few years ago ? They appear to no longer be available.
 
I think they have been discontinued last year, correct me if i'm wrong. I haven't seen them since then.
 
Interesting new CF fins in there as well. Will have to wear out a pair of C4 Mustangs before I try another pair.. :whistle:
A couple of new masks as well, but the Piranha fits me perfectly so I can't see myself trying another mask anytime soon..
 
Noseclip looks neat... But I find it a bit irresponsible to post a picture of a noseclip over a mask.

I'm sure he uses it for static... And on such a mask it'd be fine down to -10 or -15m (depending on fit / face shape) on empty lung for EQ practice... But I imagine some gear-horny newb putting both on and going past -20 or -25 and doing some eye damage.
 
I'd expect it to be for handsfree equalisation... It's an old trick having a slightly loose noseclip inside the mask to allow both mask AND ear equalization. This is just on the outside and apparently adjustable...
 
It's a bit strange, never seen a nose clip on mask or any one use it inside. I hate nose clips never work for me anyway :p

As per the brochure page 25: Compensation masque et oreilles sans

EN:
Patented nose clip to be applied on the mask. It allows both mask and ears clearing without using hands.

Toggles leaning on the mask, are mounted on springs. When exerting more pressure, they slightly open allowing air flow. It fits all masks models

I hope I am allowed to make an "informational" post on this topic in this area...

I have now included dedicated freediving suits to my selection of products. This are not spearfishing suits. No pads, no fj pants, black and made from Yamamoto 45 neoprene. Since we sell direct, my prices are very competitive.
