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! ;-)

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.

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.

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.

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
