"My cameras create enough clutter underwater so there are 3 things in particular I look for in the diving equipment I use: simplicity, reliability and good design.

Halcyon equipment is the best I have found to meet these criteria - eveything is out of the way until I need it, and when I do need it, it works flawlessly."

I have been using Halcyon equipment since around 1998. I bought my Explorer 40lb when the first batch came into the UK. It is still going strong today.

Halcyon started making the equipment that technical divers wanted at a time when no other manufacturer would entertain the clean and simplistic ideas behind the configuration. I have not forgotten the risk that they took with that business venture, and continue to support their innovative and effective designs. The equipment has a justified reputation for reliability and function, and I will continue to use Halcyon equipment in my diving.

As a professional Technical Diving Instructor and expedition diver the most important attributes of any piece of equipment is functionality and durability. This is especially important in primary equipment that directly affects the outcome of the safety of a given dive or dive operation.

My preferred diving environment for both tuition and expeditions is the cave environment and this tends to have a particularly high rate of attrition on all dive equipment. So finding something that does the job well and lasts has been an eternal quest over my twenty years of professional teaching, film work and expeditions.

I love diving with my Halcyon Eclipse, it’s unique, simple and sleek design looks great in photographic images - where the emphasis is on the diver enjoying the underwater world - not the often cumbersome equipment we must wear. To me the strengths of my Halcyon equipment are simplicity and reliability.

It’s like diving with nothing on!” … I know it’s there but you can’t see it and the kit becomes part of you.
