They do a similar range every year around this time, if anything a little
early this year.

Is this gear any good, or is it just cheap rubbish??

The SMB they did last time came with 4.5 metres of rope! ;-)

Some bits are OK, others less so. A 3mm wetsuit for £30. If it lasts ONE
week's diving somewhere tropical, it's cheaper than hiring a suit for a
week. Must be worth considering. OTOH my £70 3mm JAG suit's been fine for 6
yrs at 1 - 2 x weeks per year, so even better!

Go down, have a look, see what you think. I have a feww pieces from them in
my kit over the years. Some stuff's not survived, other bits are fine.

I've still got the origional torch they did as has my daughter. IIRC
it's rated to 30m. it's been a bit further with me and still works
fine.

This year they've got a Halogen bulb torch for under a tenner - a bit
larget than last year's LED torch  - it works off 4 x C cell and looks ok
to carry as a spare in your BCD - I've just bought one

Lots of folks in my club use this stuff for pool training  - fins
masks and their 3mm suits.  I always carry one of their LED torches in
my BCD as a spare - been there 3 years and it's still fully
operational..  I think I've also  got one of their SMBs (on a reel
with a bit more than 4.5 mm of rope!) and one of their mesh bags.
Worth a look.
