What makes a great regulator?  The difference between a "good" regulator and a "great" regulator can make or break the enjoyment of any dive experience.  Comfort, reliability, and high performance are the most important attributes that a regulator should exhibit.  Every great regulator should make breathing effortless.  Air should be delivered easily and consistently, on demand, and in the quantities required.  And through technology and design, your regulator must be completely reliable. 

Since their release in February of this year, these little powerhouses have been one of the most talked about items here at Rec Diving. People love the Solas because of their light weight and compact size, but they sometimes shy away from these beauties when they compare them pricewise to the other LED lights. While they might cost a little more at the register, I’m going to tell you how the Solas will save you more than three times their cost in the long run.

A lot of customers coming into the store have been asking “what makes the Seawing Nova different from split or conventional paddle fins”. For those of you out there that have been wondering what makes these fins something special, here is a look into the magic that makes these fins special.

PVD or Physical Vapor Deposition, is an environmentally friendly vaporization coating technique which involves the transfer of the coating material at the atomic level to the surface of a metal object. This process is used in many industrial processes in the Aerospace, Automotive and health care industries as a better alternative to electroplating.

Well the folks from Light and Motion have decided to take the technology they refined developing video lighting into the smallest, lightest and powerful package yet that can cover us no matter what our application. The Sola series lights come in three different models: the Dive, Photo and Video. Within each of these groups the Sola comes in two or three versions offering all of the options you might need for the task they’re optimized for. Sound confusing? Don’t worry we’ll dive into the details.

We just got our first A700 Black Tech regulator and WOW. Inside its the same great regulator but on the outside it has a PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) finish which, when applied on metal surfaces, increases ruggedness, scratch resistance and surface hardness. It also make it look super cool!
