I expect, like myself, most contributors to the Sea Hunt forum are keen ebay bidders. However, it's sometimes difficult to to get hold of "vintage" gear that not only fits well but also comes in usable condition. That's why I decided a while ago to do some in-depth online research about commercial sources of classic underwater swimming equipment, products that are manfactured nowadays to a design that has stood the test of time. Here's what I've come up with:
Fins

Masks

Snorkels

Suits
Historical Model (also occasionally sold via ebay)
http://www.aquala.com
Reproductions of "Skooba Totes" and other historical drysuits (also occasionally sold via ebay)
http://www.replicadrysuit.com
I would like to keep my "databases" of such modern classic gear up to date.
* Please let me know about any omissions from these collections and I will update them.
* I would also like to know whether the information I have assembled here is of interest to anybody else.
* I'd also be interested in reviews of modern classic gear. Is it as good now as when it was the only kind available?
* If you have purchased modern classic gear, have you experienced problems in tracking it down or buying it internationally?
