Is this the nastiest bit of kit or what?

Honestly. Some manufacturers really have no idea.

I came within a gnatts of buying one of those when I started out - they'd just been launched

. Oh how times have changed. A friend's got one and I regret to inform that they do actually work rather well in the water and they're very light for travelling. Does look like some sort of fetishware tho dunnit?

Why would you want to carry a bin bag on your back?

It looks like an exploded car airbag strapped to Vicky Pollards tracksuit. Do you think 462lb of lift is enough for a single cylinder? Yeah but no but yeah but no......

Talking of nasty kit, I had to laugh at this which I saw the other day. The new Scubapro T-black.

I always thought "bondage wing" was a slang derogatory term, but now it seems to have caught the radar of the manufacturers.

I sh*t you not, SP are calling that zip-up bit a "uniquely styled, adjustable buoyancy bondage system". LOL, that's its real name! You couldn't make this stuff up...

I don't care what you say - it's very black and I want one! Does it come with a free loveswing?

Stop it you two, they are starting to wonder why I'm laughing so hard at work!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I`ve got to admit, it looks as though it was designed by a committee (and probably was).
