You found one...here. Chances are whatever you are looking to buy you will find tons of people on here that own it and either love it or hate it...

Fair enough, but I'm looking for something a little more structured if available.

Scubadiving.com, Just remember the fact that they do take advertising dollars. Should be a good start though.

Yes but if you want honest reviews you will get that here and not somewhere that advertisers pay for a good review.

Anything particular you are looking for a review on?

divernet.com is also a good one. I use all of them, but I found the most reliable is scubaboard.com

Personally I use divernet.com, scubadiving.com, & sportdiver.com. These are the three I follow closely, but I also do thourough searches on-line. If there are any more that are any good,.. I'd love to know.

I also like divernet.com, but I too have found scubaboard to be a better source for reviews. Assuming that more than 3 people respond to a question that is

Something like Scuba Diving is handy to quickly see what's available and get an overview of a whole bunch of fins, or BCs or whatever, fills the need for something structured. If you're new its a good place to start and get an idea what you might be interested in and maybe features you want to look for or avoid. (Just keep in mind your opinion of some feature may not be the same as theirs.) It's not generally not a place you want to use as your only source of information though.
