Divers Supply- Your One Stop Dive Shop for All Your Scuba Diving Equipment
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.
