Diving Mask

A diving mask = your underwater eyes, which means that the best one is comfortable, fits well, and provides clear vision. To check fit, lightly press the mask to your face, breathe in with your nose; it should create a gentle suction. If it acts uncomfortable or doesn't stay in place, it may not fit well.

Suits

A well-fitting wetsuit is crucial for a comfortable dive, balancing between too tight and too loose. It should feel like a second skin, providing flexibility without gaps. Drysuits, unlike wetsuits, create a watertight seal, allowing layering for thermal protection. Divers often transition to drysuits for extended or cold-water dives. Choose based on your diving type, required thermal protection, and preferred material. We recommend obtaining a drysuit certification for mastering essential skills like air control and your buoyancy. Dry Suit Diver.

The Surface Marker Buoy

Essential for signalling your location during ascent or emergencies.”

The Buoyancy Control Device (BCD)

Ensures neutral buoyancy during dives, acting as a jacket to manage buoyancy. Many BCDs have integrated weight pockets, eliminating the need for a separate weight belt.

Regulator

A regulator enables you to breathe compressed air from your scuba tank by converting high pressure to ambient pressure. It consists of two parts: the first stage, connected to the tank on your back, and the second stage, placed in your mouth. Choosing the right regulator for your highest comfort and security is essential.

Squba Tank

Stores compressed air or specialized gas mixtures. These tanks, crafted from steel or aluminium, typically carry a pressure rating ranging from 2000 to 3500 psi. The air required for breathing during your dive is contained within this tank.

Fins

Provide control and agility underwater, with different types suited for various scenarios.

Full-Foot: Suitable for snorkelling, swimming and diving in warm waters. Wearable with neoprene socks or barefoot, but you won't wear them with neoprene boots at all.

Open-Heel: Suitable for Scuba-diving. They have a longer, more robust blade and a wider, open-heeled shoe with a strap or spring. Require the use of neoprene booties.
