    Just got back a little while ago after buying my wife her basic gear. She got the same mask and snorkel I got but with the clear skirt, boots with not quite as heavy of a sole as mine, a bit lighter on the gloves and a set of ScubaPro Twin Jet splits in bright pink. We can't wait to get in the water. I will post a pic of her gear tomorrow evening after work or maybe Friday when I am off on a vacation day.


    WooHoo!!! OW class starts in 15 days!!!

    ...Twin Jets splits in bright pink. You will not have any excuses for losing her in the water with fins like that

    Hay you have UGLY fins. I did try them once, I did not like them for frog kicking but a standard flutter kick watch out. These have to be the best fins for a standard flutter kick I have tried, just kick really slow so your buddy does not get upset at you.

    Yeah but she really likes them and I really like the fact that she will be easy to spot.

    Well, I'd say that stuff needs to get wet! (Except for the snorkel, maybe . . . )

    Okay, so I can not edit anything in the beginning of this thread fro some strange reason so I am going to repost my original pic of my gear back here at the end of the thread.



    Te reason for the repost is because I exchanged my fins for blue instead of black. If you hadn't noticed I am a big fan blue... So here are my new new fins...

    We did just that yesterday in the local pool. We practiced clearing our masks for a about an hour. We got pretty decent at it but it was kind of a PIA to do without weights holding us down. So, I would hold her under water - I know, sounds gruesome right - and then she would hold me down.
