Scubapro’s Everflex Wetsuit Gets A Redesign
Scubapro have completely redesigned their Everflex wetsuit with fewer seams for what they are calling ‘unrivalled’ flexibility. The result is a wetsuit that the manufacturer says is warmer and more comfortable than ever.
Here’s the press release from Scubapro:
Like a Second Skin
Through the combination of exclusive and carefully designed core features, the stylish Everflex is in a league of its own:
Pure Design Concept (PDC): with fewer and virtually water tight seems for maximum stretch, the Everflex conforms to the body like a second skin, providing unparalleled comfort and freedom of movement.
Advanced Thermal Lining: water draining Diamond Span material for ultimate cold water protection.
X-Foam Technology: your wellbeing comes first. X-Foam is the only technologically advanced material that complies with (P.A.H) regulations.
Water Repellent Everflex: sheds water and dries quickly upon leaving the water, providing extra insulation whilst preventing heat loss.
Ultra Stretch Neoprene Formula: cleverly constructed and extra stretchy. The 3D cut and the elasticity of the material makes struggling in and out a thing of the past.
Abrasion Resistent Materials: for protection and durability. With Powertex reinforced seat and shoulder panels and Tatex Kneepads for added resilience.

May the 4th be with you!
Oyster Diving have recently been given exclusive access to offer scuba diving courses and fun dives at Mercers Lake, a beautiful lake near M25/Gatwick in the UK.
Oyster have just launched their own dive boat ‘The Blue Pear’ to explore various parts of the lake. Divers can glide around the underwater woodland, see lots of fish and decent visibility. Out of the water divers set up in the purpose built kitting up area, unwind in a warm shower, and off-gas in the café & licensed bar.
To celebrate the start of the summer season, AquaSports and Oyster Diving have teamed up to host a Star Wars-themed open day on the 4th May.
Guests will be able to enjoy discounted tasters of various watersports including Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), Canoeing and Sailing. Oyster Diving will be joined by Apeks and possibly other dive manufacturers to display their latest products. Demo gear will be available for qualified divers and Oyster’s sales support team will be on hand for customers with any questions.
Divers wishing to get in the water will need to book in via Oyster Diving’s website where you can also choose to hire any equipment. Non-divers and well behaved dogs are very welcome!
As well as the watersports there will also be music, food and a licensed bar. The fun starts at 10am and finishes around 4.30pm.
Please come along, wear your finest Stormtrooper or Princess Leia outfit and enjoy the fun!

Gear Showcase: The Nomad Ray Sidemount System from Dive Rite
Dive Rite was founded in 1984 by technical divers and cave explorers with the goal to make the very best scuba diving equipment available. Gear that can be trusted on the most extreme dives and exceed expectations in any environment: reef, wreck, cave, or quarry.
The Nomad Ray is the product of years of design, development, field testing, and feedback from some of the world’s leading sidemount divers and instructors.
The Nomad Ray is available in black, blue, OD green, pink, or red. If you happen to find yourself in a tight spot, the Ray’s abrasion-resistant “skid plate” will have your back: providing wear protection exactly where it’s needed the most. SuperFabric® is a fast drying, highly durable, and slash-resistant material. The Nomad Ray Sidemount System is ready to perform in the toughest diving environments.
The Nomad Ray can be easily adjusted to comfortably fit all body types. The independently adjustable harness design can be quickly set up for any diver. Shoulder and waist webbing can be replaced independently if damaged or trimmed too short. The Nomad Ray uses a fast, tool-free bungee length adjustment system. Simply pull to the desired length, tie a single overhand knot, and tuck the excess into the integrated sleeve. A quick-adjust belly band with a custom moulded bungee hook keeps the wing wrapped snugly around the diver’s body.
A zipper on the inside of the Nomad Ray wing allows for access to three integrated weight pockets capable of holding up to five pounds of each of hard or soft weight.
