Wednesday, September 12, 2007 - New blue Pacific Digital camo wetsuit now available in 3 mm! We have just received the new Pacific Digital wetsuit in 3 mm and it is available in size 2 to 6. Other models in different thickness and sizes that were sold out are back in stock; please check our “Catalog” page for detail information about the new wetsuits and product availability. As always, if we can be of help, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time. Sincerely, Pablo Clausen Spetton USA, LLC   Thursday, July 26, 2007 - Check out the new Green and Blue camo wetsuits! Good news: two new camo patterns are now available! Bad news: these new wetsuits are already almost sold out! More good news: we are getting a new import within few weeks. The new models are Green Kelp Digital Termic (5 or 7 mm), and Pacific Digital (3 or 5 mm) in blue camo pattern. Wetsuits specifications: Both suits are made with top quality neoprene (Green Kelp with Heiwa and Pacific Digital with Sheico), and Spetton superior design with built in knee and elbow pads, and seals around face, wrists and ankles areas. The Green Kelp Termic suit has silver termo titanium interior coating which increases warmth insulation and helps the dressing process (the interior coating slides easier on skin) but it is still recommended to lubricate the suit using water/shampoo solution, before putting it on. The Pacific Digital model is made with the same Sheico neoprene used for our classic Black and Pacific (blue) Mimetic suits, and like the mentioned models this wetsuit also features smooth open cell interior.

The competition rules were simple: diving in pairs, each person could weight only two fishes (other than amber jack and barracuda) and the team with more pounds would win. Members of the Palm Beach Dive Club, Miami Dive Club and the Longfins went into the water and even though the weather wasn’t very nice and we had to enjoy 4 to 6 ft seas, the outcome was good for most of those that didn’t suffer from sea sickness: the 1st place was taken by the Miami club followed by the Longfins taking 2nd and 3rd. For more info please check the Longfins page: www.longfins.org   Thursday, December 22, 2005 - 2005 Pan-American Spearfishing tournament results The 2005 Pan-American took place Lima Peru on December 3rd and 4th.
