Underwater equipment made in Mexico: online retail source?

[David Wilson]

I'm reposting this thread here as I have had no replies so far to my message elsewhere.

Escualo Sports is a Mexican manufacturer of fins, masks and snorkels:

Does anybody know where to order any of this gear online from Europe? I have emailed Escualo in Spanish, but their lack of response suggests that they don't seem interested in supplying any of their products in small quantities.

Try dropping a line to Ben at www.mayanaquadive.com. He's a Brit that's owns the dive op. He might have a contact for the equipment you are looking for.

Sorry, I couldn't be of more assistance, but my wife loves the New Castle Brown!

Thanks, Spratman. You've given a possible avenue to explore, which is more than I got when I posted the same message a while ago in the Fins, Masks and Snorkels forum!

As for Newcastle Brown Ale, I've seen it advertised more in the United States than it is here, where I suppose it sells itself. It's known locally as "Journey into Space" as it's so strong. And the latest thing in the supermarkets here is Newcastle Brown Ale ice cream - I've never tried it, not sure I want to!

Yer welcome! We were in Cancun last August and we met up with a couple of Brit soldiers. We were invited over for a BBQ, so we brought some beer. My wife wanted some ale, so we brought a six pack along. The one guy named Frenchie, from New Castle by the way, his teeth nearly fell out! Man, that was funny...

He told my wife if he was back home and ran into her in a bar drinking New Castle Brown, he would run like hell, because he would be afraid she would beat his ***! LOL!!! Awesome!

Well, I'm not sure about the ice cream thing either. Do they still you Thames river water for that??!!
