News from Sand-n-Sea Scuba Diving Center
DECEMBER 2007

 

 


NEW OCEANIC DATAMASK HUD (Heads-Up Display)

This really does change things. Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything. The DataMask is not just about having a computer in your mask – it is about the many practical benefits provided by truly “Hands-Free” diving.
It seems ridiculous to explain to someone that looking at their watch or console takes so much effort that this mask is a great benefit - but after diving it, you quickly begin to realize just how much of a distraction monitoring your instruments actually is – and how liberating diving “hands-free” can be.

Imagine driving down the freeway and having to reach down to locate a gauge to check your speed.  With the DataMask, you only have to look down, just like when driving your car.  Before you complete the thought “I wonder how much air I have?” or “How deep am I?” or “Am I ascending too fast?” – You have the 

answer – instantly. Imagine how enjoyable it is to complete an entire dive without taking your eyes off the reef, ever.  Ascents are completely changed – you’ll see people ascend trying to manage their buoyancy and check their gauges with their left hand while their right is holding a line, assisting a buddy, shining a light on their gauge, or a combination of them all and you'll appreciate your DataMask more than ever.  Safety stops are a completely different experience - with the DataMask you’re perfectly able to observe your surroundings while seeing current depth and countdown time.  For anyone that has downloaded their dives, you’ll find that regardless of buoyancy skills, most divers experience fairly significant depth and ascent rate fluctuations without ever knowing it. With the DataMask, these variations are instantly recognized, giving you an opportunity to correct them – ultimately providing much greater control and safety during the dive. And finally, you’ll enjoy the ability to easily monitor your air time remaining – and will see immediate benefits of reduced air consumption.

 


NEW ATOMIC AQUATICS SMOKE ON THE WATER SPLITFINS

Our newest Atomic Aquatics SplitFin®, "Smoke on the Water" gives an exciting new look to basic black, combining opaque and semi-transparent materials together for a beautiful rich looking effect. The foot pocket and side rails of the fin are molded from our exclusive high energy polymer used in our Reef Red and Liquid Blue models.  These fins are sleek, sexy, and fast!
  

Accompanying the new look, "Smoke on the Water" is fitted with the newest innovation, the Atomic Aquatics Spring Strap. Like every product Atomic makes, the innovative design re-thinks the old and improves upon the concept. What’s unique is the "variable pitch" of the stainless steel spring (Pat.Pend). Unlike other spring straps that have a constant coil of the same diameter, our new spring straps have a variable pitch and section geometry (they change shape) in specific regions of the strap. These special shaped regions allow the spring to stretch more easily for a more comfortable fit and make them stronger to resist breakage or permanent deformation if they are over-stretched or abused. The spring straps are fitted to our patented quick release buckle system that permits simple, one handed removal or attachment. A large, rubber heel pad with oversized finger grip adds comfort and makes slipping them on and off quick and easy. Constructed of rust resistant type 316 stainless steel, this may be the last fin strap you ever buy.

The Smoke on the Water Splitfins are the height of fashion and function.  Once you have a chance to dive with these fins, you'll never want to dive with anything else.!

 


RETROFIT YOUR CURRENT ATOMIC AQUATICS SPLITFINS

Just when you thought you couldn't love your Atomic Splitfins more, Atomic Aquatics releases its revolutionary new Spring Strap design!  These new straps will retrofit any existing Atomic Aquatics open heel Split Fins by simply snapping them on in place of the old straps. A large, rubber heel pad with oversized finger grip adds comfort and makes slipping them on and off quick and easy. Constructed of rust resistant type 316 stainless steel, this may be the last fin strap you ever buy.  If shore diving is in your future, these new fin straps are a must!
