Top Scuba Diving Equipment at DRIS Dive Shop

Call us biased, but scuba diving is one of the most exciting activities anyone can take part in. In order for you to have the best scuba diving experience possible, having both appropriate and high-quality scuba diving equipment can make a huge difference.

At Dive Right In Scuba, we are committed to providing the best service and scuba dive gear possible because we believe everyone should like scuba diving as much as we do. In this blog, we’ll answer your top scuba diving equipment questions and provide a look at our top dive gear for you!

What Scuba Diving Gear Do I Need?

Just like our drysuits, the answer to this question isn’t one size fits all! In order to properly understand what dive gear DRIS should provide for you, consider these important factors:

1. What is your scuba diving experience level?

Before recommending any specific scuba gear, it's important to understand the individual's experience level. Someone who is just starting out will have different diving equipment needs than someone who is more experienced or familiar with various scuba gear.

2. What type of diving will you be doing with your scuba gear?

Different types of diving will require different types of scuba equipment. For example, cold water diving will require thicker wetsuits, while cave diving may require additional safety scuba gear. At DRIS, we can provide diving equipment for snorkeling, free diving, technical diving, public safety diving, open-water diving, and more!

3. What key diving equipment features are you looking for?

In order to properly recommend scuba diving gear, it's important to know what benefits you’re looking for to successfully match you to the right scuba gear brand or diving equipment. Again, this can depend on your experience level, diving type, and even your scuba diving location. Regardless of the variables, DRIS is happy to help find the right diving equipment for you!

Find Dry Suits and Dry Suit Accessories

Stay safe, dive for longer, and most importantly, do it dry! With our top-of-the-line exposure scuba gear, you can do it all. With a range of drysuit diving equipment, DRIS can offer full-body drysuits, drysuit gloves, drysuit hoods, and drysuit boots.

Get Top Quality Buoyancy Control Devices

In order to enjoy your diving experience, having greater control and stability in the water through your BCD is critical. Have a problem with a buoyancy control device you currently own? We can repair it for you!

Need Diving Harnesses?

If you’re looking at buoyancy control devices, chances are you’re going to need a diving harness and dive wings as well. This will allow you to comfortably carry your scuba tank gear, while also decreasing drag in the water so you can swim for longer!

Check Out Our Rebreathers

While all scuba gear is important, rebreathers take priority. Overall, rebreathers are important for scuba diving because they allow for longer dives, provide a more efficient diving approach, and allow you to stay safe if an emergency gas supply failure occurs.

Other Popular Dive Gear and Accessories

While dry suits, BCDs, rebreathers, and diving harnesses are some of the most important items you will need in your diving equipment arsenal, don’t forget about these other awesome products!

  • Snorkeling equipment: whether as a single item or package, we offer snorkel gear covers fins, snorkels, masks, and vests
  • Cameras: grow your underwater photography skills with cameras, GoPros, Lighting, and cases
  • Wetsuits: catch a wave in our various wetsuit exposure gear
  • Paddleboards: perfect for those who choose to be on the water, not in it

Regardless of your experience with diving, we hope that when you’re in the water, you choose a top diving equipment product from our dive equipment shop.
