Our on-site dive shop
carries everything from masks and snorkels for Open Water students
to regulators, BCs and computers for experienced divers.
Masks and
snorkels
Without
a mask, you won't be able to see anything underwater. When you're
choosing one, the most important consideration is fit, because
a mask that doesn't fit will leak and spoil your dive. You'll
also need a snorkel so you can conserve air when you're swimming
on the surface.
Brands stocked:
Cressi-sub and Paragon
Fins and
booties
Full
foot or open heel? Full-foot fins enclose your foot in a soft
rubber slipper, so you don't need booties. They're the most
economical option, but it's important to choose a pair that
fits snugly - loose fins will chafe. Open-heel fins are worn
over neoprene booties, so they're generally more comfortable
and can be used in cooler water. However, they're also more
expensive.

Cressi-sub
Wetsuits
Even
in the warm, tropical waters around Singapore, most people need
some extra insulation. A 3mm shortie or full-length wetsuit
keeps you warm during the dive and protects you from stinging
organisms such as jellyfish. As with most diving gear, fit is
everything - a loose wetsuit won't keep you warm.
Brands stocked: Bodysuit Australia,
plus a limited number of Bare
wetsuits at clearance prices
Regulators
and gauges
Your
regulator controls the flow of air from your tank, so it's vital
to your well-being. A high-performance model from a reputable
manufacturer will serve you well for many years, provided you
take care of it. Don't forget that regulators need to be
serviced annually.
Brands stocked: Cressi-sub
and Oceanic
Buoyancy
compensators (BCs)
A
BC (or BCD, for Buoyancy Compensating Device) has three main
functions: it supports your tank, it lets you fine-tune your
buoyancy underwater, and it keeps you afloat at the service.
Choose a BC that fits comfortably and provides enough lift to
keep your head above the water.
Brands stocked: Cressi-sub
and Oceanic
Dive computers
A
dive computer monitors your depth and dive time. Computers are
useful for deeper, multi-level and repetitive dives, because
they monitor your dive profile exactly and calculate how long
you can stay down.
Brands stocked: Suunto
Accessories
We
also stock a wide range of accessories, including defog, logbooks,
safety sausages, Cressi-sub
dive bags, Princeton
Tec and Toshiba torches and Suunto
compasses.
