Black Silicone Flex Tube Available on TUSA Snorkel

The popular Imprex II Hyperdry snorkel by TUSA is now available with a black silicone flex tube. The silicone mouthpiece is also black silicone. Black silicone is less reflective to light for those divers who want to "blend-in" to the dark background. The silicone, however, retains its excellent flexibility, soft texture and durability. The models with the black silicone flex tubes and mouthpieces come with a choice of either black or turtle green pipes. The snorkel is the perfect match for TUSA's new black silicone version of its Splendive II dive mask.

The Imprex II Hyperdry is a "dry" snorkel with a double valve system. (upper and lower purge assembly). It features a hydrodynamic design with low profile for less drag in the water. For more information on the Imprex II Hyperdry snorkel, contact your local TUSA dealer.

The year 2000 is coming and NiteRider Technical Lighting Systems, Inc. is prepared. The company's Digital NR4000™ dive light is Y2K compatible.

"Because the Digital NR4000 contain a micro-processor, we've had numerous customers ask if it is Y2K ready," says John Haywood, co-owner and vice-president of sales and marketing at NiteRider.
