Scuba diving guides written by divers, for divers
The Divingkitsupply dive blog answers the questions we get asked most in the shop: how to choose a scuba regulator, which dive computer a new diver should buy, what wetsuit thickness suits your water temperature, how to pick freediving fins or a speargun, and how to look after the gear once you own it. Every guide is written in plain language, names real products and links to the category where you can compare them.
When a guide points you at a product, it is one we stock and ship worldwide from the USA, with free US delivery over $99 and 100-day returns. If a guide does not answer your question, ask us and we will answer it directly, and probably write it up next.
