Scuba Gear Reviews
Every piece of gear on this page has been personally dived, tested, and reviewed. Not just in a pool. Not for a sponsor. Real dives, real conditions, and real opinions. I write these the same way I’d talk to a dive buddy after a trip: clear, honest, and with no patience for gear I paid for that doesn’t deliver.
Click any gear name to read the full review, including performance notes, pros and cons, and whether I still dive it today. Learn more about our Scoring System .

Some pages may include affiliate links to shops I buy from and trust. These help support the site without affecting my reviews. For certain brands like ScubaPro, Shearwater, Hollis, and Bare, I personally buy through my local dive shop, Crystal Blue Diving . They don’t sell online, so I can’t link to them directly. But they’ve earned my loyalty by matching prices, supporting local diving, and delivering great service. When I include affiliate links to those same brands, it’s to give you an easy online option while still recommending gear I trust and use myself. Learn more .
