Jon WhittleSeaLife Sea Dragon Light
SEALIFE SEA DRAGON 2500
This 2,500-lumen photo/video/dive light is holy-cow bright, with a 120-degree beam. The control toggles through 100, 50 and 25 percent power, with emergency flash and SOS signals. Waterproof to 200 feet, with a 60-minute burn time, it comes with a tray, Flex-Connect grip, Li-ion battery, charger and case.

Jon WhittleSeac L70 Dive Mask
SEAC L70
Seac’s ultra-low-volume mask is so tiny it looks child-size. On your face, the semiframeless design brings the lenses in extremely close for a wide-angle view through the inverted-teardrop lenses, with internal volume so small you hardly need to consciously equalize.

Jon WhittleOceanic Cyanea Dive Mask
OCEANIC CYANEA
A favorite when it was part of the Aeris gear line, the Cyanea has a comfortable ski-goggle elastic strap with a single adjustment at the back. The 11⁄4-inch-wide strap has nonslip strips to keep it in place, and a clever, built-in snorkel-holder loop. The double lenses are broad and deep for a big view, and the silicone skirt has a wide sealing area.

Jon WhittleBody Glove Triton Wetsuit
BODY GLOVE TRITON
This new rear-zip 5 mm has radial shoulders and a V-cut neck that hugs without binding or restricting. The smooth-skin seals have zippered covers for easy on/of, and the thermally reflective lining keeps in warmth. Available in men’s and women’s sizes.
