O’THREE 90NINETY | SRP: GBP£1,795
O’Three are renowned globally for their range of neoprene drysuits, but now they have branched out into the world of trilaminate. The 90Ninety came about from the realisation that many diving holidays are effectively mini expeditions to all corners of the globe. Thus, the team at O’Three set out to develop a suit that would be the ideal travel companion wherever your diving adventures took you, from 90,0000 N to 90.0000 S (hence the name). The 90Ninety tips the scales at just over 4kg with 4mm neoprene Pivot Boot, or 3.7kg with soft boots. However, this lightweight does not mean O’Three have skimped at any stage. The 90Ninety is made from high-stretch, rip-stop trilaminate, in a front-entry full-telescopic torso design and with a YKK AquaSeal zip. It features SiTech ‘Quick’ fast-replace neck ring and KUBI Dry Glove System, which are both silicone, latex and neoprene compatible, so you will never miss another dive due to a broken seal. The suit is equipped with Apeks low-profile auto dump and swivel inlet, with a carbon hose, and a pocket on the right thigh that has a built-in slate pocket, D-rings and bungee. www.othree.co.uk

AQUALUNG SEAFLARE RANGE SRP: AUD$190-$580
Dive lights are an essential part of a diver’s kit arsenal, from a small back-up light that can live in your BCD pocket for when it is needed, to a larger primary dive torch for night dives and inside wrecks, etc. Aqualung has got you covered with the Seaflare range, which comes in three sizes – the Seaflare Mini, Seaflare, and Seaflare Pro. All are water-resistant down to 150m, and feature an anodized finish and a hardened glass lens to protect your light against corrosion, abrasion and scratches. Large on/off buttons made from titanium are easy to operate, even wearing gloves, and these also allow you to swap between modes (low, medium and high power). Each torch also comes with a chunky elasticated lanyard. Uniquely, the Seaflare range features glow-in-the-dark beam deflectors. These are made of silicone, so soft and collapsible, and have numerous roles – they help protect the torches against impacts, they reduce light pollution so you can see what you need to without blinding your buddies, and they make you easy to spot on night dives thanks to the range of colours available (blue, yellow, pink or glacier). Each torch comes with all four colour deflectors. All three torches can be used on land as well as in the water, thanks to their electronic temperature regulation system. The Seaflare Mini has 900 lumen power, and gives a burn time of three hours on high, four hours on medium, and ten hours on low. The Seaflare has 1,300 lumen power, and gives a burn time of three hours on high, four hours on medium, and ten hours on low. The Seaflare Pro has 2,800 lumen power, and gives a burn time of three hours on high, four hours on medium, and 12 hours on low. Each torch comes with spare O-rings, and has a two-year warranty. www.aqualung.com.au
