All of my training gear is ScubaMax. I have not had any problems in over 2 years. I don't use it for my personal gear but only because I already had my personal equipment before I started teaching. I do use it while training even though I don't sell gear. I have been impressed with ScubaMax's quality and prices. Their masks really are the same as everyone elses, their 3mm wetsuits are fine, probably the same manufacturer as most of the other brands and seem to hold up well. Their regulators breathe as good as any that I have tried in warm water (don't do cold water diving). Their BCD's are well constructed and work great. My only complaint is that their extra small BC should be smaller than it is.
