    What do reviewers say about Aqua Pura and Megara?

    This is the aquatic that people who hate aquatics can actually wear. No synthetic storm. No pool-house headache. Just the idea of open water, done right, at a price that doesn't require a sailor's.Aqua Pura
    Most aquatics stay on the surface. This one goes deeper, heavy on the Ambroxan, honest on the seaweed, and unafraid to be a bit much. That's the draw.Megara
