Hey friends. I’m doing some cleanup in my scuba garage and have some things to give away, and a couple of things to sell. Two pair of US diver blade fins size small and medium, they are $15 each and in good shape. Have some snorkeling fins $5 a pair, couple of other scuba fins for $10 a pair. There’s a ladies zip up neoprene vest, likely fit a small for $10. Then some other bits and pieces including a few masks spare parts, etc. Let me know if you’d like to come see it in the next couple of days before it goes off to Goodwill. ... See more
