Thanks Chris,
It's the material of the body of the ports that I'm interested in. So Delrin, or similar. Can anyone confirm or deny this?!

LJM,
the extention rings and plan ports are made of a black slippery plastic looking like Delrin.
I don't know exactly what plastic it is but Delrin makes the most sense because of it's properties.
The port lock bajonet on their minidome is made of aluminium, the rest of this plastic.

You could always ask this guy: Pascal Eeckhoudt <Pascal.Eeckhoudt@leys.be>
I buy my own photographic kit. Diving equipment manufacturers and diving services suppliers get even-handed treatment from me whether they choose to advertise in the publications I write for or not. All the equipment I get on loan is returned as soon as it is finished with. Did you know you can now get Diver Mag as an iPad/Android app?

Thanks for the tip John; Pascal confirmed that the material is indeed Delrin. Thanks everyone for the input.

Hmmm. That is disapointing. I thought they were made from real ninjas.
