Another Neptonics Bikini Pic with Floatline and not much else...

Time for a new floatline?

Neptonics floatlines are universally accepted to be the best in the world. Be sure to check out our integrated bungee/floatline (pressure pro) and clutch system.

Not that you were looking at the Floatline...

The insertion tool is a good combo with the beads.

Re: Another Neptonics Bikini Pic with Floatline and not much else...

Every time my female dive buddy and I can't get what we want localy and need to order from you, and we order a fair amount from you ( in the last year or so multiple sets of Argos booties, 2 float lines, carter float, rob Allen gun, bands, just off the top of my head) we always want to check and see If Sturgil or the Freediveshop has what we need instead of patronizing you because of the cheesy, sexist sof core smut style of ads and media you use. She really doesn't like them and I too find them (while undeniably attractive) to be pretty sexist and not the kind as advertising I respond positively to.

I'm sure that it's fun to do your photo shoots, and that lots of your customers and fans that can't find enough porn online appricate you models, and that it sells and gets people to look at your product. But you need to hear as well that there are people who will chose not to patronize your business because of it.

Obviously it's your company so you run it how you like, but I'm not impressed by your cheesy stripper laden ads. There are plenty of real female divers and spearos out there maybe you should find one to help you push your product.

If you have a daughter or sister or mom or know a female spearo you might ask them how they feel about your ads; I know we are not the only ones who have a negative association with your company due to the way you portray women

Just remember Neptonics, you can't please everyone and although you try it's impossible as you can plainly see by the above post.

I guess some people are just really sensitive.

Wow this is so good. A+ for you dude. The ladies must love you.

Sorry but they aren't demoralizing or degrading women whatsoever by posting their gear with a hot girl. Just because someone finds the female body attractive and uses it as a playful marketing tool in a business dominated by men, does not make them misogynists. I call it good marketing 101.

Might I add that as a true feminist myself, shaming that sort of behavior in anyway creates more of a stigma. Women should be able to do as they please with their bodies. She made the choice to model, they made the choice to post it (as they should it's their business), and you made the choice to buy from them. Now don't contradict yourself and buy from them if you don't believe in what they do. That's consumerism 101, but we'll save that for another time.

Then I take it you don't purchase from Carls Jr., any of the many advertising breweries, car companies, etc. I assume you have also written scathing letters/emails to thousands of other advertising companies stating your same disgust displayed here.

Exactly, I'm pretty sure the model in this photo can make her own decisions. Maybe we should ask the model if she feels degraded?lol

I'm offended as well! I'm so disgusted the only way Josh could ever make it up to me would be to ship a new float line w/ integrated clutch system or send me the unedited pics to make sure she was treated fairly during the shoot!

Re: Another Neptonics Bikini Pic with Floatline and not much else...

I've really tried to keep out of the non diving related political things and back and forth on this forum since my unfortunate foray last year into making friends and influencing people around the topic of chiroquackery. However given the responses that I feel misrepresent my point , and the number of supportive PMs I have blowing up my inbox I will try to engage without having this turn into typical spearboard bluster and BS

Hector, I seem to remember similar comments about your "sensitivity" regarding some thinly veiled anti Mexican/Chicano/Latino comments made on here that you objected to. the closer to home these issues hit the more you feel it, and the more ones moral obligation to question it becomes imperative. Having a female dive buddy who really doesnt like these ads, perhaps makes this more of an issue for me; but im not a particularly sensitive person in any regard. That doesnt mean i wont speak my mind about this kind of sleazy ad.

+1 in favor of Neptonics and I'm a father of two daughters.
Don't like it, change the channel. You've made your point by choosing to not patronize the Company and that oughta be it.

Re: Another Neptonics Bikini Pic with Floatline and not much else...

Stop all of this nonsense! It's triggering my anxiety and offending my sensibilities. I'm going to sue you aggressors for all the xtra time I will have to spend on my life coach in order to even return me back to where I was before you decided to ruin my progression w/ your insensitive posts.
