Divers Supply has everything you need for scuba diving from scuba gear, dive gear, scuba masks and snorkel to dive fins and more. Check out our vast collection of scuba diving equipment made by the most trusted brands and with latest technology and features to ensure maximum safety.

A diver equipped with a good set of scuba diving equipment gets the best diving experience. The essential scuba gear includes a scuba mask, a buoyancy compensation device (BCD), scuba tank, dive weight, regulator and fins. Depending on the diving conditions, you’ll also need a dry or wet suit, scuba gloves, a rash guard and safety sausage for safety.



The Gear You Need Depends on Where You Scuba Dive.

You can dive almost anywhere there's water. The gear you use will vary somewhat depending upon your diving environment, as well as your preferences. There are four general categories for dive equipment, but some gear fits in all the categories, for example, the mask you use for tropical diving is probably for temperate or cold water diving, too.

Scuba Gear- A breathing apparatus set used for underwater diving purposes. It is the main part of the diving equipment which provides divers breathing gas at the ambient pressure. Besides breathing, a scuba gear unit allows you to descend, ascend, hover, or float at will.

A scuba gear includes a regulator, buoyancy control device, tank, harness, and other instruments necessary for diving. Learn even more about Scuba Gear in our blog.

Dive Gear- A personal or support equipment that recreational scuba divers and professional divers carry for underwater diving. Mostly used when operating in a saturation mode. They make your diving safer, easier, and more comfortable.

Dive Computer- Scuba Computer (unlike the dive table, the scuba computer automatically calculates your nitrogen intake so you can better plan your decompression times). It is highly recommended for your comfort and safety while diving.

A dive computer price starts from $250 and can run up to over thousands based on the software technology and the brand.

Scuba Mask - The human eye cannot focus on water. The mask provides an air pocket so your eyes can focus and you can see clearly underwater. Your nose must be within the eye pocket so you can adjust for pressure changes. This is why swim goggles cannot be used for scuba diving. Look for Tempered glass - Plastic fogs up and standard glass is hazardous if accidentally broken. Desirable features (found in virtually all masks intended for scuba diving) Feathered, double skirt - Makes mask seal more reliable and comfortable, Wide strap with touch buckle adjustment - Mask adjusts quickly, easily and stay adjusted during the dive and Low volume - The smaller the mask, the less drag it has while diving. Your face may require something a bit larger, so don't consider this an absolute.

The price starts from $14 and goes up to over $1000 for face masks with the built-in communication system. Check out different types of scuba masks based on your preference.

Scuba Fins- Make moving through the water easy, and allow you to swim using powerful leg muscles. We have a wide range of dive fins available at great prices. But it is essential that you consider the diving environment, comfort, and fit when choosing your fins. The price of fins starts from $40 and costs up to several hundred depending on the design and brand.

Scuba Tank- A vital component of the dive gear that helps you hold the air you breathe while diving underwater. Modern scuba tanks are made from aluminum alloy or steel alloy and are rated to hold pressures as high as 200 bar/3000 psi. Your dive regulator attaches to the cylinder valve.

Scuba BCD (Buoyancy Control Device) - It holds your gear in place, lets you carry a tank with minimal effort, floats you at the surface and allows you to achieve neutral buoyancy at any depth. Look for one that fits snugly but doesn't squeeze you when inflated). Pick from our massive selection of Scuba BCD at top brands.

Scuba Regulator and Octopus your regulator takes high pressure air from your scuba tank and adjusts it to the pressure you need for breathing. It supplies air only when you inhale (on demand), and directs your breath into the water when you exhale. It also routes air to your BCD, instruments and dry suit if you’re using one. Always choose the regulator that gives you the best comfort and performance. We have many designs and options on our site from which you can select a set that best fits your dive.

Dive Weights - Compensate your natural buoyancy along with your gear and wetsuit. The dive weight you need depends on the weight of your gear, your weight, and the buoyancy of your wetsuit. Dive weights are available from $10.

Dive Compass - While a dive compass helps you navigate underwater, a scuba or dive gauge specifies the current and maximum depth you reach during a dive.

Scuba Gauge - It tells you how much air remains in your tank so that you can end your dive well before you get too low. The SPG may be an independent gauge, or it may combine into a console with one or more additional instruments you use while scuba diving. It may also be integrated into your dive computer. Independent SPGs are analog gauges, whereas those integrated into computers are digital. From basic to fancy devices, we have everything you need for your dive. Just make sure if it’s made for underwater use and rated for the depth you’re looking to dive.

Snorkels - A scuba snorkel is an essential dive gear used to breathe while you are swimming face down on the surface. It helps save the air in your scuba tank and is most helpful for beginners. There is a wide range of options and features available with us. Snorkels can be bought from as low as $10.

Dive Knife - An important safety device to have if you get caught up in something underwater like fishing lines. You can find dive knives for around $40.

Scuba Hoods & Gloves - They provide warmth and extra protection against stinging sea creatures, large predators, and the harsh environment.

Rash Guards, Skins & Wet Suits - A rash guard is a tight clothing item that provides protection to your arms and torso. They are lightweight and shift and move easily with your body.

A dive skin is a lightweight full-body bathing suit that covers and protects your arms, legs, and torso.

Wetsuits are heavier, providing you the comfort and thermal protection while diving underwater. Note that you’ll need to use semi-dry or dry suits while diving in frigid waters. Select the right wetsuit or rash guard that fits your requirements.

The price starts at around $60 and goes up to several hundred dollars based on the thickness of the material and brand.

Dive Watches- Used to measure the dive time, and the price starts from $70 and can go up to thousands based on the brand and technology.

In addition to the above dive equipment, there are some other devices you’ll need for scuba diving. They include dive reels, dive lights, dive flag, diving boots, safety helmets, an underwater camera, and other floating equipment for more safety.
