Project Hiu Strap – Every Strap Helps Save Sharks
Millions of sharks are lost each year to commercial fishing, many just for their fins. Suunto, in partnership with Project Hiu, is giving you a way to help fight back. For every “Green Glow” strap sold from June through December 2025, we’ll donate €10 to the project, which works to keep shark fishing boats from the water by empowering Indonesian fishermen with sustainable income alternatives. Preventing a single boat from fishing for one month can save up to 100 sharks.
Suunto Ocean is currently in Black Friday sales for £625, reduced from RRP £725

Poseidon Xstream Regulator
RRP: £760
alastair@liquidsports.co.uk / www.poseidon.com/en-gb/ / www.facebook.com/PoseidonDivingSystems / www.facebook.com/liquidsportsuk
Poseidon Xstream, the regulator of choice for the most formidable of divers. The Xstream works with air, nitrox, trimix or 100% oxygen. Certified for use down to 200 m / 656 ft, this regulator never quits, giving it the honored place as the US Navy’s, US Coastguard’s and the NYPD’s preferred regulator. There is no other way to put it – the Xstream has earned its name.
The Xstream features technology like no other. Taking advantage of a side purge, current-induced free flow is prevented while at the same time diverting bubbles that would otherwise obstruct the divers view. The regulator’s small size keeps it out of the way while its symmetry allows use from both the left and right side.
The objective; design the most reliable first stage in the world.
A patented ruby ball seal is automatically positioned by the floating seat which balances any upstream pressure equally with the pressure adjustment spring, maintaining the benefits of having a perfect ball as the sealing element without the risks that follow with incorrect sealing pressures. This makes the Xstream Range self-balancing, giving the same high performance, irrespective of the pressure in the cylinder.
Added to this the range has a built-in anti-freeze protection in its construction. The TDA (Thermo Dynamic Antifreeze) ensures that the through-flowing water keeps the ice away, entirely without fluids or extra diaphragms.

Seal SL:01 Drysuit
RRP: £2,695
info@nautilus.uk / Find A Retailer – Nautilus / www.facebook.com/nautilus.uk / www.facebook.com/sealdrysuits
SEAL is a drysuit brand for explorers and technical divers who do not accept compromises.
Our products are manufactured in the EU, using only the most technically advanced materials.
Dual skin design, uniquely SL:01
Our inspiring adventurers from XDEEP’s Exploration Support Program set us a challenge. To solve the seemingly impossible balance of light and flexible v tough and durable. A ground-breaking double shell design and advanced materials technology gave us the win. Proven in the harshest environments.
Material with embedded technology
Reinforcing and protecting key areas on the SL:01 is Superfabric. Utilising hard resin dots, applied to a flexible base fabric, Superfabric technology gives the protection of Kevlar without the stiffness. Cut-proof and resistant to abrasion, crawl through the most inhospitable spaces with near impunity.
Combat Inspired Design
The most demanding test of any equipment is found in the military. The stresses that combat equipment must survive, compared to recreational or technical diving are in a different world.
By meeting and exceeding the specific needs of combat divers for over 20 years, we had the knowledge and skills needed to design the SL:01. Comfort, flexibility and toughness combined.
Cut for performance
Designed for performance, without any compromises. Reach and movement is enhanced through a sophisticated cut pattern in the chest and arm area. The result, incredible freedom to move without extra material causing air traps.
A drysuit zip where it should be
Pressure points can be created where the harness passes over the zip. Only one intersection now exists due to smarter thinking on the zip position, and even this is pressure free.
This innovation delivers significantly less zip stress and eases load carrying, in or out of the water. A second Japanese YKK Vision #8 over the dry-zip offers yet more protection.
Easy entry
The unique zip position gives unparalleled ease of access into the suit. Whether on a small boat or in the back of a car, we just made kitting up much easier.
Smarter arm mounting for the essentials
On each forearm is a military-inspired molle type carrier, a flexible accessory mounting rail. The options you can create are virtually unlimited, from anything that fits on a molle clip, to innovative flexible threading options.
Thread bungee or cord for cave markers, mount computers and secure CCR handset cables with ease.
Wetnotes pocket
Communication and access to data is critical, especially if under stress. Sliding your wetnotes in and out of stowage is direct, quick and easy, bypassing the main pocket. A dedicated and innovative mesh under pocket with a rigid back keeps them both secure and accessible, even if the main pocket is full.
Ergonomic Pocket Design
Ideally located and designed to remain streamlined, the SL:01 high-capacity pockets give easy access when required, otherwise they stay flat. Made of tough German Cordura and approved by tough cave divers!
