compensator (BC) billed as ideal for the
traveling diver. The Pegasus weighs 7
pounds, 7 ounces and its back-mounted

Apollo
Sports' Bio-Metal Pro Mask
What is it? A dive mask representing
Apollo's latest addition to its dive
equipment lineup. The Bio-Metal Pro Mask's
polished stainless steel frame with ceramic
coating provides a quality resistance to
corrosion. The slim steel frame reduces the
distance of eyes-from-lens area. The result
is an expansive view that begins with a
nearly 180-degree horizontal viewing area.
The new design of the mask's silicone skirt
is built to provide a comfortable
face-hugging seal. A stabilizing lip further
ensures comfort and the anti-reflective
finish improves visibility. Not to be
overlooked is the black skirt for maximum
color clarity and antibacterial treatment
for added protection of facial skin and
mask. Push-button strap adjustment is easy
to use under any condition. The Apollo
Bio-Metal Pro mask is built to be strong,
durable, and very easy to pack. Each mask
includes a padded travel bag.
Benefits to your diving: A dive mask sealed
well against a diver's face is an important
part of ensuring a safe and enjoyable
outing. The Bio-Metal Pro Mask also provides
resistance to corrosion and a larger view
through the mask. For more information about
the Bio-Metal Pro Mask, or to contact the
nearest Apollo dealer, call (800) 231-0909.

Jellyfish
Squish
What is it? A topical anesthetic to treat
jellyfish stings. Jellyfish Squish
counteracts the toxins released by
nematocysts left on the skin by a jellyfish
tentacle. The company said that in tests
conducted on beaches in Georgia, Florida and
South Carolina, the burning sensation of a
sting was soothed in minutes after spraying
Jellyfish Squish on the affected skin.
Additionally, the treatment neutralizes all
nematocysts deposited on the skin, stopping
the flow of toxins and preventing toxins
from being released later.
Benefits to your diving: Nothing can ruin a
good dive like a painful jellyfish sting. If
Jellyfish Squish is as good as advertised,
divers can have some peace of mind knowing
that if they have an unlucky encounter with
the marine creature, they are well-prepared.
For more information about Jellyfish Squish
or to contact the nearest dealer, call (912)
353-3368.
