Dive Shop - Shop, Purchase, Buy Online

A dive shop is a suppliers of diving equipment and training. A full service dive shop offers a large selection of all major brands of SCUBA and snorkel equipment, as well as quality rentals. Training programs range from beginners to advanced snorkelling classes and even divemaster classes.

A brief list and description of diving equipment supplied by a dive shop (it is not exhaustive) is a helpful resource:

• SCUBA equipment (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus)
  • A SCUBA Regulator is a gas pressure regulator that supplies the diver with air.
  • A Buoyancy Compensator controls overall buoyancy. There are three types: wings—or inflatable bladders worn to the side—, stabiliser jackets (inflatable vests), or adjustable buoyancy lifejackets.
  • SCUBA diving masks allow clear sight underwater.
  • Snorkels allow for breathing at the waters surface while the face is submerged.
  • A depth gauge is a pressure gauge that displays water depth digitally to help the diver avoid decompression sickness and oxygen toxicity.

Next time you can't think of anything mind-blowingly fun to do at the beach, remember the underwater scene that is often overlooked by surface water athletes like surfers. A whole universe of underwater beauty awaits you: the amazing biodiversity of a coral reef can only be truly experienced during a dive. You may see sponges, angelfish, and even butterflyfishes. A dive shop will inform and equip you with the means to experience this brave new world of undersea adventure.
