In this month's issue…

With the new dive season quickly approaching we take a look at some of the new equipment on the market, specifically aimed at the Technical Wreck Diver.

Some big names have now entered the realms of Sports Diving with modifications to existing mainstream products. This enables them to offer equipment that would normally only be available to the Commercial Diver at reasonable prices.

This month we highlight a new product from Black and Wrecker, the Turbo-Chisel. Built to exacting standards, this innovative product is bound to stand the test of time and is destined to become a firm favourite with all British Technical Wreck Divers.

Happy Diving
