I have not started diving doubles but the idea of redundancy is appealing.

Hammerhead backplates and sta's

To this day it is still some of the best diving I have ever done. My first dive was with a dozen Sharks, huge Eels, Gi...

Tobin, Welcome to the NWDiveClub. You have manufactured some really nice gear. It seems that Deep Sea Supply has some very innovative ideas. I’m just about to order your SK7 and Vyper elastomeric mount. I think the bungee should eliminate my issue with suit compression at depth. Makes for gearing up...

Salvo

Has anyone heard if Salvo is planning on staying in business through this ordeal?

I think I would be hesitant to purchase a piece of their gear without knowing the company will be around for the long haul.

Deep Sea Supply has just released there new Torus wings. I think the doubles wing has been out a little while but the singles just started to ship a few days ago. They look pretty good.

Craigslist

I agree with Calvin. Craigslist can be a great place to shop for gear. Yesterday I picked up a pair of fins, Lower half of a 7mm farmer John, and 20lbs of weights for $25. I often see full sets of gear for $800 or so.
