Scuba Gear News, Tips & Shop Finds
The Gear Locker is Bubble Break’s place for scuba gear updates, product highlights, equipment tips, maintenance reminders, travel-friendly finds, and helpful notes from inside the dive shop.
Keith & Josh Are Going Gear Shopping!
This November, Keith and Josh are heading to the DEMA Show in New Orleans to see what’s new, talk with manufacturers, compare equipment, and start deciding what deserves a place at Dive & Glide Scuba in 2027.
What Should They Look For?
Is there a piece of dive gear you’ve been thinking about? A brand you wish we carried? A new computer, regulator, BCD, mask, fin, travel accessory, underwater photo system, or one of those clever little gadgets you spotted online and wondered whether it was really worth it?
Tell us. We’d love to do some of the homework for you while Keith and Josh are surrounded by the newest equipment and the people who make it.
Your ideas can help shape what you see at Dive & Glide Scuba next year—and give us a very good excuse to go investigate some fun new gear.
Your Wish List Goes With Them
Tell Keith & Josh what you want them to hunt down, compare, ask about, or bring back for a closer look.
What's on Your Gear Wish List?
Send us a product, a brand, a category, or even a “does somebody make something that does this?” question.
Before You Click “Buy”… Ask Dive & Glide Scuba.
We know online shopping is convenient—especially when holiday shopping gets busy. But before you order your next piece of dive gear online, give Dive & Glide Scuba a chance to help. You may be surprised by what we can do.
We work hard to offer great equipment at competitive prices, and we can help make your holiday spending dollars go farther. We’ll have holiday sales and special offers throughout the season, and every purchase earns 5% back as credit on your Dive & Glide Scuba account to use toward something later. Sometimes stretching your dollars also means helping you choose something that will work better for the way you actually dive—or saving you money by steering you away from features you simply don’t need.
And your purchase comes with something an online cart can’t provide: people right here who can help with fit, compatibility, setup, service, warranty questions, future maintenance, and those inevitable “Can you take a look at this?” moments long after the sale.
Independent dive shops are becoming harder to find. Shopping with Dive & Glide Scuba helps keep training, equipment service, air fills, dive travel, local events, advice, and a community of divers available close to home. We never expect you to buy something simply because we’re local. We’d just like the opportunity to earn your business.
There’s a New Name in the Gear Locker: SEAC
We’re excited to welcome the full SEAC product line to Dive & Glide Scuba. From masks, fins and snorkels to exposure suits, dive lights, regulators and more, SEAC gives us even more ways to help divers compare options, find the right fit, and choose gear that makes sense for the diving they actually do.
SEAC Pura
One example from the SEAC line now available through Dive & Glide Scuba. Stop in, take a closer look, and let us help you find the SEAC gear that fits you and the way you dive.
SEAC Style S
Another glimpse at what SEAC brings to the Gear Locker. These featured items are only a small part of the much broader SEAC equipment line available from Dive & Glide Scuba.
More Than What You See Here
The photos above are only a small peek at SEAC. Dive & Glide Scuba has access to a full line of SEAC dive gear, including masks, fins, snorkels, exposure suits, lights, regulators and more. Stop in, ask us what’s available, and let us help you compare choices. If there’s a particular SEAC product you’ve been looking at, ask us about it—we’d love the chance to help you find it and make sure it’s the right choice for your diving.
Equipment Recalls Now Have a Permanent Home
Important dive equipment recall information should not disappear when a newsletter story gets old. Dive & Glide Scuba has created a permanent Equipment Safety & Recall Center where divers can quickly check current and past manufacturer notices. The page is organized by manufacturer and currently includes 2026 recall information for Apeks, Hollis and SCUBAPRO.
