Comments about Omersub Omersub Atoll Float:

I bought the float for spear fishing. As far as capabilities it is SPECTACULAR. There are hooks and clips everywhere, pocket up top, and the velcro on the bottom is super strong. It does have the downfall of being easy to blow over and flip. Requires weighting which is made more difficult by the inner bladders not fitting into the float. Lastly the flag system is horrible. The flag is in two parts and isnt secured to the raft well at all. I lost it on my third dive. I recommend physically/permanently attaching the flag. Other than that this float is FANTASTIC for the price. I really do love it despite its flaws.

Comments about Omersub Omersub Atoll Float:

You will need to re-rig the dive flag to be more efficient

Service & Delivery comments:

Product arrived in a box that looked like it had been used 50 times and was barely held together with ratty tape. The box was torn and open, and there was no documentation inside, just the float in pieces. I'm pretty sure everything was in the box, and it was delivered fast.

Comments about Omersub Omersub Atoll Float:

Takes up no room at all and when you set it up it's great for multiple uses. When I'm shalow diving I keep my spear gun , camera , metal detector, and goody bag clipped to it so I don't have to keep all that stuff with me and I don't have to go back and forth to the boat.

Service & Delivery comments:

Comments about Omersub Omersub Atoll Float:

My life is Spearfishing and for someone like me that stays in the water far from shore for many hours in the caribean, this Float is awesome! Solid construction, very good external material to take any beating from reefs or fighting fish. Has lots of pockets for extra speargun tips and my .357 powerhead, plus I can carry two extra spearguns like my Mares pheumatic or my Omer gun since it has two velcro wraps on the bottom. Plus is great for hooking to ur speargun butt in case u shoot a bigger fish. I always hang my stringer to it and keep my bloody fish away from me in case of shark or barracuda.

Is also great for traveling since u can deflate the two interior compartments and fold it to fit almost anywhere.

If you'r looking for a float to be noticed this is not what u want since the Flag is very cheap, it break apart and does not stay in place, But Overall this was just what I needed it's the perfect spearfishing float!!

Not Bad .. Could be better

Comments about Omersub Omersub Atoll Float:

Overall its a pretty good float. The only gripe I have is that you have to modify the dive flag so its attached to the float. The float will flip in surf or wind, which may cause you to loose your dive flag because there is nothing that firmly attaches your dive flag to the float. Overall its a pretty good float you just have to make the modification to the dive flag

Comments about Omersub Omersub Atoll Float:

My wife and I used used this for shore snorkeling and diving off Pompano Beach. I utilized pockets for sunglasses, sunscreen and water. I added no weight and only had it flip once on me. Great as extra flotation for those long surface swims back in. Outer construction is great, heavy duty, the flag and airbags inside are much cheaper. I modified my flag to make it more stable. Much less drag than a round float.

Comments about Omersub Omersub Atoll Float:

This Float is very well made, durable. The handy clip rings, pockets and straps make it extremely versatile for cameras, spare lights and equipment. I dont spearfish, but this works nicely as a rec diving bouy and folds neatly to the size of a large book. It is very lightweight, so I use a 2 lb weight in both ends to steady it in the wind.

Pros:
Lightweight
Cons:
Bad flag attachment
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Omersub Omersub Atoll Float:

It was smaller than expected and the dive flag pole and attachment leave a lot to be desired. The pole is a cheesy plastic that comes apart while using it. The attachment is with elastic cloth.

"This product is average"
By scubaboyVerified Purchaser from birmingham, al on 9/21/2007
Pros:
Easy To Use, Functional
Best Uses:
Shallow dives
Describe Yourself:
Recreational Diver
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Omersub Omersub Atoll Float:

This is a good idea and can come in useful if you are shallow diving and may need to surface to change out speergun etc.. but the diveflag has difficulty staying erect and is not big enough.
