Welcome Eric,

I love my masks from your company, my wife and I dive with them constantly.

Here's my suggestions

1. make it easier to buy parts. I don't care if I go through dealers or your website, but its dang hard sometimes to find out how to buy something. I usually pester your tech support guys far more than anyone wants, get the part number from them, call my dealer, educate him, place the order, install part, wipe hands on pants, repeat.

Need rings? can't find on the website.
Need a replacement pull-to-release string? can't find on the website.

Not really a big deal in the revenue area, but they are enough aggravation that I start looking at other vendors to see if they have something similar.

2. Solve the Buddy Breathing problem officially. I've rigged up long hoses with quick disconnects, put a normal stage 2 on the ends that can be popped off and the hose can be plugged in. (same thing goes with deco bottles) Please consider selling a 7' hose with a QD on the end already made up and a "male part" as a kit.

3. Speaking of deco, provide an "o2" clean kit for upgrading predator and other older masks officially.

4. Sell a Gas Switch block in the US. Slap a sticker on the Oxycheck one if you have too, but like the hoses above its an annoying omission. Again as a kit with a couple of hoses would be ideal.
