First ring....darn not silver....engraved stainless INOX mens wedding band with engraved geckos....will upload a pic later today.... Still love the ctx....but the excal is really light, fast and great sounds on rings so perfect in the h2o. Part of the deal with the excal was another scoop.....so if any one is after a stainless scoop (stavr) - just imported a few weeks ago $250....pm me....

Max.....after today I probably wont be laughing at the "red suit"..... :-) Olly and i gonna do some testing of Suits : * We need to make proper foot covers- probably will used Rubber sandals - cheap and sturdy * Balance Buoyancy - Make proper weight belts that will allow to walk in the water up to chest deep But.... i still prefer just to Fly to Rarotonga, Samoa, Fiji or similar warm places for water hunting :-)
