Our Gear

Pacific water is considered cold water year-round (upper 50s-low 60s F in winter and upper 60s – low 70s in summer), so you will be wearing a 7mm wetsuit, boots and possibly a hood. We offer Fourth Element Xenos 7mm wetsuits, 3 styles of boots, gloves and short hoods for adults and BARE Manta 7mm wetsuits and boots for kids.

Fourth Element is outstanding in their ocean conservation efforts – the wetsuits are made from recycled materials, and if your suit wears out, you can send it back to be recycled further. Even some of the packaging is made from plants and dissolves in water that is safe to return to the sea. Learn more about their Ocean Positive campaign.

BARE Sports is committed to sustainability and reducing their environmental impact by using eco-friendly materials in their products and supporting ocean conservation efforts.

We provide a wide range of TUSA masks specifically because of their amazing fit! Everyone’s face size and shape are different, so we provide masks that fit small kids all the way to larger adults.

• High cheekbones, narrow chin?
• Round face, broad forehead?
• Deep smile lines?
• Low or High volume?
• Framed or frameless?
• Black or clear skirt?
• Peripheral view?
• Nose purge?

Anything that will make you more comfortable is the way to go – there’s no right or wrong.

We also offer two kinds of snorkels– one from TUSA and one from Fourth Element. All of TUSA’s mask cases are made from recycled materials.

We provide both “recreational” and “technical” fins, both from Fourth Element. Really anyone can use either one for any kind of diving.  The Tech fins are a little more negative (helps with floaty feet!) and are shorter and stiffer.  The Rec fins are lighter but still generate thrust on both the down and upstroke of the fin.  Both come with spring straps to easily get them on and off.

If you’re worried about leg strain, try the Atomic Aquatics split-fin! We have spring straps for these as well.

Fourth Element fins all use recycled, natural and recyclable materials in manufacturing and each pair comes in zero plastic packaging, eliminating plastic waste and reducing impact on the environment.

Atomic is changing their manufacturing materials over time so that they become a “green” product.

Additional Equipment

Compasses: We provide Oceanic clip-mount swivel compasses to help with your navigation skills.  They have large, easy-to-read markings and are tilt-compensated, which helps when you’re learning how to hold it as you find your way.

Flashlights: We provide XS Scuba LT300 flashlights which put out 1000 lumens of light for both night dives and looking into all those cracks and crevices.

We offer 3 options for tanks: Your standard XS Scuba Aluminum 80s, 63s for our smaller divers and some Faber Steel 80s for larger divers so you don’t have to carry around extra weight.

For your Deep Diving certification classes, you’ll use the XS Scuba Extra Air – Complete Backup Rescue System.

All of our tanks are regularly visually inspected and pass stringent hydrostatic testing.

We offer both soft and coated Sea Pearls lead weights as well as ankle weights (if necessary). If your personal BCD doesn’t have integrated pockets, we provide XS Scuba pocket weight belts for use during your dives.

For divers who need more weight, we provide a DUI harness system that provides for better trim by redistributing the weight.

Coated weights are an environmentally friendly way to keep toxins out of the ocean.

Extras

Mask Straps: All of our masks have a recycleable custom Trident neoprene strap, both for comfort (no more tangled hair!) and because they help your mask to float if you drop it. We have three styles available for purchase!

Mesh Bags: To mask every dive a cleanup dive, you’ll need a bag to collect debris.  We provide these Trident small mesh bags with a handle that can be easily connected to a D-ring.
