Marin makes a great bike at just about every price point. They do a really nice job shopping their components to get the most out of each frame they make.

My 10 yr old got her junior cert last summer and we went diving the Dominican last month. She got to cruise with a green sea turtle, saw a moray, went lion fish hunting with me (man alive, have we done a NUMBER on those things over the last 10 years. They're actually kinda tough to find these days) and of course the usual reef stuff, rays, crabs, lobsters and a slew of fish.
I love this charging station. It keeps my nightstand clutter-free and is perfect for travel. No need to carry multiple cords or risk forgetting one and overpaying for a cheap knockoff that barely works or charges slowly.

And if you ever do a night dive on Kline Bonaire, you, like us, can pack three zoo keepers full of lion fish. I take my can light and those 4000 lumens freeze them for others to stick... It's amazing.
Here's another gem you might want to gift her.. The green laser is the right color to use for pointing-out things you want to point out, and SOOOOOO much fun to play with small fish...
And last, for night dives on reefs, a UV light like this is freaking AMAZING for lighting up biologics. A spendy toy for one purpose, but it's AWESOME! And if you're a photo buff, buy an amber filter like this for using with the UV wave length.. [Reply]
