    XS FogCutter X for Cutting LionFish Spines

    anyway, found one pertaining review on leisurepro. that reviewer bought it exclusively for lionfish and said it sucked. not sure what size lionfish that reviewer was cutting, but noted that the blade edge nicked. would suck to replace a $90 knife on a regular basis.

    Full Inflation Jacket BCD

    full jacket inflation simply means the bladder is all around the torso. not just on the back and/or not just on the lower side. beside scubapro classic plus - most stab jackets only offers lower side bladder and back bladder. missing front bladder. hope this clears up the requirements...
