My Scuba Gear for Surface Support

Divesoft - DNA Nitrox/Oxygen Analyzer

I've used the Divesoft DNA Analyzer for a full year as my primary tool for analyzing Nitrox fills. It has been with me across quarry dives, day boats, and coastal trips, and has proven consistently reliable. While it does require a smartphone to view readings, the app works without internet access and has never let me down. The analyzer runs on a single CR2450 coin cell battery, which has lasted through a full year of regular use without replacement.

Stream2Sea - Mask Defog

My go-to anti-fog solution for both freshwater and saltwater dives. It outperforms spit and baby shampoo, holds up better if your mask floods or gets dunked, and is the only defog I trust to be safe for aquatic environments. Not cheap, but absolutely worth it.

Stahlsac - Steel Duffel

I use this as my go-to dive travel companion for carrying exposure gear, wet swimwear, and day-use items. It is sealed like a drybag using high-quality zippers, so the main compartment keeps contents dry even on wet boats or docks. I primarily carry it as a backpack, but it works well in all modes. I do not use the internal dry pocket often, but it is there if needed. After heavy use across flights, resorts, and boat dives, it is showing some corner wear but has not failed. I would buy it again without hesitation. It outperforms dry bags, laptop packs, and small suitcases in every way that matters.

SurfFur - The Original Water Parka

Delivers exceptional warmth and wind protection for divers during surface intervals, making it a reliable choice for cold or windy conditions. After two years of use it has proven highly durable, easy to put on over wet gear, and perfect for modest wetsuit changes. While bulky for air travel and unnecessary in warm climates, its comfort, build quality, and consistent performance justify the price, earning it a permanent place in my dive kit.
